I believe I misspoke when I suggested 100hrs break-in for the Melco C1’s. Instead, I must’ve been thinking of the Network Acoustics Muon Pro Streaming Cable & Muon Pro Ethernet Filter, which by the way, adds unmistakable improvements to my streaming system. I’m talking about a more natural, relaxed, fatigue-free sound without sacrificing detail. In addition to the ocopper > fiber > copper conversion between the router & Synergistic Research Ethernet Switch!
Melco C1-D20 SFP+ Direct Attach Cable
I replaced my top tier Finisar SFP's & Corning Premium Fiber with the Melco C1 SFP+ Direct Attach Cable. This cable was not cheap (around $850-$950). Ordered mine from Wally at Underwood HiFi. It was shipped quickly from Luxman. The Melco C1 cable connects 2 Sonore Optical Modules Deluxe that are between Verizon Fios G-3100 router & switch. Muon Pro & Muon Pro Streaming Cable are between switch & streamer.
No need for A/B test because the differences were obvious & quite pleasant indeed. Signifantly deeper soundstage & with that an even more realistic feel for the room, more distance between layers, as if you can see & hear the other side of the instrument, creating a more 3D image. It's as if you can reach out & hold each note in your hands.
Suffice to say, I am grinning from ear to ear. I will happily provide more feedback when the run-in process is complete.
Place the Melco C1 in your isolated system & you'll be in for a real treat.
