I love that you started with the Omega Ethernet. It's really on another level. I use it mainly for balanced AES signals in a Meridian DSP system (RJ45 CAT based). But also for "Ethernet" duty off the Uptone switch to streamer which is mated via fiber to the master switch.
Gemini is an...
Sigma XC is alot more powerful sounding, crisp and delicate. But the price difference is large.
I would say the Sigma HC is an excellent value for money.
DF-SS is not for heavy cables. I would wager Moebius is better suited with 3+2 straps.
I have 18 DF-SS in my setup and those straps are getting longer and less nimble. One snapped right off.
I use Shunyata Alpha V2 power cable with a Super3/Furutech/OrangeFuse/DC 2 Silver cable to a modded Meridian 210 streamer with GX inlet.
I compared a bit with the Furutech DPS 4.1 cables but I settled on the DPS for the Meridian 861V8 digital preamp and the Shunyata Alpha v2 PC on digital sources.
I’m using 1x Typhon T2 for Left, Center and Right active speakers.
The T2 reference umbilical is custom ordered with a C15 termination for the Meridian DSP7200HCSE active center speaker.
Thanks IanB for your impressions. Having recently put my Triton V3 on duty for my workstation/headphone-DAC Hifiman Jade-II electrostats. I can testament that QR/BB and NIC absolutely impact serious headphone systems.
Completing my new in-room layout have been slow but will start to burn in the...
7ryder, you’re now at the 2-week mark. How is the T2 settling in so far? Since you are using it with a 6000S/2 how do you find using its local outputs vs using the 6000S/2 outputs? Any stark differences there?
I use optical OM4 cable for ethernet duty where I can. Been using Furutech, AQ Vodka/Diamond for finer duties where RJ45 is the only option.
I've used Shunyata Omega ethernet extensively for AES/EBU duties riding ethernet cable in my Meridian based system. Waiting for my first Omega Ethernet to...
Oh, then you will have a double upgrade.
Thanks for expressing what is going on in the system. 1 day is very little for a powerconditioner so I expect things will develop from here.
