Spent most of the day listening for sound. Very unfruitful. Ended up not knowing which end was up. Thankfully, tonight listening to music. Much happier, and really enjoying the sound. ​​​​​.

@audphile1  Well, after playing all day, it’s breaking in and the true character is starting to emerge. To answer your question, I can tell how the stock cable sounded because it was almost identical to sound of the coax cable which I still have ...

Manu, Got mine from Music Direct. It arrived two days after ordering. I don’t know what the problem was on your end. Good luck.

Have to be patient for break-in.   Hasn’t yet reached or surpassed the magic that was there previously.

Still waiting for delivery.  UPS Stops at 7:00PM.

Solo streamer
Sure.  It might take a little while to break in.

@newbee Thanks for your suggestion and your good wishes. I had actually forgotten about the Loki. You have a good memory. It was removed years ago because It didn’t get much use at all. I spoke of the brightness when the Aurender was first insta...

The brightness is an issue only very occasionally. I definitely don’t think it warrants a new DAC. Most of the time the balance is excellent. I’m replacing the stock USB cable with the Shunyata Gamma USB cable to remedy any remaining issues.
