DH Labs

Just another shout out for DH Labs. I recently purchased the Air Matrix Cryo RCA ICs, and Reunion Ethernet cable.

The Cryo’s replaced my Lavri Grand silver ICs, which great cables, I’ve had them for around 2 years I think, but with a new DAC and amp in that time, I didn’t feel they suited my current setup.

Having already bought the Mirage USB (Streamer to DAC) from DH Labs, and reading good things about the AM Cryos I fired off an email to Greg between Christmas and New Year; both cables were with me in the UK on the 3rd Jan. Great turnaround, very happy with the customer service from Greg and DH Labs.

The Cryos are very good indeed; to my ears they are a tad "sweeter" sounding than the Lavri, which is to my taste.

The Reunion was intended to feed a regular consumer Netgear switch, from a pair of media converters. The Netgear fed my Network Acoustics ENO (with optional NA’s streaming cable). However, after following some good advice on another thread, which to my mind/ears was demonstrably spot on, I removed the converters and went ethernet from router, straight to the Netgear, making the Reunion redundant.

I wanted to see what the Reunion was all about, so replaced the ENO with the Reunion from Netgear switch to my streamer. Now I’m not sure what’s going on here as I’ve had the ENO for a while, and just set and forget. I’ve never experimented with it at all; I don’t know what to say, I find I prefer the Reunion in its place.

I’m going to give it more time and do some more swapping in and out, but at the moment I’m preferring the Reunion over the ENO.

Whatever the outcome, I’m really impressed with DH Labs and the 3 products I’ve purchased so far 👍

Bought my first DH Labs air Matrix when they first came out they had a deal on a  pair just to try them out $49 I should have ordered some to every one of my friends houses and collected them up $49 wow

Just  wanted to say that I'm a big fan of DH Labs, especially DIY cabling. I love the pure silver interconnects available from Parts Connexion.

Also use their shielded power cable.

Otherwise, Worlds Best, which uses Mogami is my default interconnect for everything I don't want to think about:

Good to see DH Labs getting some well deserved love.

I found the DH Labs glass Toslink to be head and shoulders above my Supra ZAC Toslink, my Lifatec Toslink and an Amazon brand that was well received. I also got a great deal on some DH Labs HDMI 2.0 when on closeout of that line which was  a nice step up on some WireWorld cables I was using. I could easily see the improvement on my TV. Not to be overlooked. 

If I ever get the itch to try out that Shanling ET3 CDT, I'll try one of their USB cables.

All the best,
