Moved Audio Quest cable to my DAC. WOW


I just moved my Audio Quest power cable to my DAC and noticed a more realistic open and better detail. 

I have always been skeptical due to my electrical engineering bbackground.my wife also noticed a better sound. 

The cable never really made any difference on my JC5 amplifier but maybe as someone else pointed out,  power cords make a bigger difference on up front equipment with less sophisticated power supplies. 

Ordered a linear power supply conversion for my streamer.  Will see what that does.

I'm not saying it's illusion but that the ascription is not necessarily the proximate cause.

In the case of the power cord / DAC there are innumerable other factors that can account for the SQ change claim.

Having designed and built professional recording equipment, I was ever on the alert not to be fooled by randomness.

In both cases above, measurable parameters were the result of the changes: Pointing Angle and Boat Speed.

In both cases the boats were optimized for expected conditions. Had the '83 race been a flat drifter series, the outcome could have been the other way.

Too often in the HiFi space claims are made with no data to back them up. And being universal when they clearly cannot be in divers systems and rooms.

i could not agree more

the biggest questions about life, civilization, the universe are all unanswered, or woefully unexplained by human's sense of what is 'science'

Now order a digital switch from Silent Angel and you will get a bigger improvement.
