Sounds like that DAC is really working out for you!

Yes, it is. It is difficult to describe Wayne, but just when I
think the sound is as real as it can possibly be, the sound becomes
more real with the updates. (50% of the electronics is in the recording
venue.) Improving half of the total electronics makes a definite
improvement, as we all know when comparing components.

I have discovered fairly early in 4+ decades of research that
the recording and playback electronics are a major factor
limiting sound quality, just as speakers, room etc are.

I have been running the updates day and night for about 100 hours.
Will continue and see if any more changes occur.

cheers

That's really awesome!

I've heard nothing but good things about that company and its products.

Hi Wayne,

Yes, absolutely. I should have previously posted another thought I
have been mulling over.

Since the recording equipment is half the
electronics, how do I know how close to butting up against
the absolute maximum sonic quality of the recording components?

I think I am quite close after adding the all copper single
ended output jacks with Jenalabs wire increased naturalness
a little, but noticeable. Interestingly,

I just made another upgrade, and the sound improvement was not
as apparent. I think I am really really close now, as the sonic
improvement, naturalness should have been larger.

I don't think I am going to try anything else, at least for awhile.

cheers
