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.

Well, I'm not familiar enough with your Lumin so I'm unable say if the C1 Direct Attach is compatible. If not, simply return it. I can't imagine any reputable business not offering a generous trial period & return policy.

Well ,  you sent me a PM saying : ´´ Does your switch have an SFP cage? You may find the Melco C1-D20 SFP+ Direct Attach cable to your Lumin works even better. ´´

Remember ??

According to WKLIE , answering me about the cable and Lumin  a few minutes ago : 

´´ It likely won’t work. In case it works for you, please let me know.´´

 

Thanks for your expertise .....
