Acoustic Zen Matrix reference II IC

I used to have Rogue ST100 and RP1 that I upgraded later to RP5. Rogue is good but it isn’t Pass. 
 

Matrix/Silver combo is nice. Not sure why you require schiit equalizer though. Less is more in the signal chain….just my $0.05. 

Ah-- so I wasn't hallucinating- - good to know!  

What I've found is that as resolution increases, differences in CD sound quality become more evident. The Lokius was acquired as a way to address this issue. 

What would you suggest? 

I run Matrix balanced IC cables in my system where ever I can- amp/pre; phono stage/pre; dac/pre. Electronics are Pass (XP20/X250.8). Speaker cables areAZ Hologram II. Very pleased with this set up.

Good to know.

This post gave me the feeling of deja vu. I owned the Acoustic Zen Silver Ref II before and it’s close to 2 decades already and it’s still the same cable being sold now. It has been so long that I’ve actually forgotten if I’ve used this cable before (my memory is not that good anymore these days). There’s no Silver Ref III or IV after all these years. Interesting.
