@charles1dad  @stephendunn   Thank you.

I need to take photos early in the morning (before reflections are dominant). The wood looks so much better in natural light. The American cherry sides of the amps and power supplies have darkened and go well with the American walnut of the rack.

Stephen, the jellyfish image is actually black and white...the phone camera creates the blue effect (the blue light from some of the components doesn't help). 

@stephendunn Thanks, even that little bit helps.  Appreciate it.

I like the placement of your Nenuphars well into the room. It provides them plenty of room to breathe and perform at their best.

@charles1dad   Charles, for reference: the drivers are 6 feet from the TV screen and 9 feet from the front wall.

Had you ever tried the DAC2 module in your VR L2iSE?

I was on the hunt for an external DAC upgrade thinking I was missing something with the VR DAC 2 in my own L2iSE. The recently referenced review on Audiophile Style comparing the Rossi L2iSE (DAC2) with the likes of Chord Dave convinced me to end my search. Seems that there may be limited or minimal improvement by throwing multiples of the cost of the VR DAC2 for an external solution. 

I agree with the review that the combination of the internal DAC2 with DHT tubes and internal Mosfet amp creates a synergistic solution that eliminates costly additional peripheral interconnect and power cabling. I'm feeding my L2SEi DAC2 via USB from the Antipodes K30 server. I did find, however a noticeable improvement upon the addition of a Shunyata Omega USB cable. Also, I do have a costly power system consisting of Ansuz C2 level power distibutor and cables.

At this moment I'm enjoying and appreciating this system as the Nenuphars (with additional run time) continue to reveal more and more musical nuances. I would be interested in trying some Silversmith Fidellium cables. Anyone experience these on the Nenuphars?
