In my system, Naim ND 555, Naim PS 555 DR (two powersupplies), Melco S10 and Schnerzinger Lan Protector, I use the Shunyata Omega ethernet cables. For me one of the best I know and can afford.
That the CH makes it possible to play SACD's. The sound is quite the same. I never had the chance to hear both players at the same time in the same set. The Spectral I know best because I own one. The CH Precision was at an event at my dealer.
The D1.5 is in the EU 42.250 euro; the Spectral was first priced 49.900 euro. The CH Precision will play SACD and CD. For me playing CD's the Spectral is the best. Even when playing CD's the Spectral SDR 4000 SV is superb.
For me the most important is the sound. Is the sound the CD player or streamer "produce" as close as possible as the live music I've heard. The Spectral is very realistic, close. I need to invite a pianist or Orchestra at home for the most realist natural sound. That is impossible as we all...

Greetings Re-tread,
Thanks for your nice post. Yes I have a Shunyata Omega Ethernet cable. I use this cable between my Naim streamer and the Melco S100 switch. Before that I had a Shunyata Sigma Ethernet cable and a Audioquest Vodka. For me the Omega is the most realistic cable without...
Did you hear both amps with the Stage? An integrated amp can be grat like e.g. the Humboldt. A pre amp and poweramp is often much better as Thrax or Spectral proof. The Humboldt s great for less money but for my ears, music the Thrax is much better. Maybe my sources and cables makes the...
