    Sablon Evo usb cable

    Could not agree more. Owned the USB cable for 2 years. Bought the Coax also. These cables are by far the best value!!!

    Sablon Evo usb cable

    My dealer and I tested several so called reference USB CABLES. The USB was going to a Nagra Tube DAC and the Ideon Clock! No contest. Sablon wins! BTW, the Sablon SPDIF cable with Bocchino connectors is excellent!

    Sablon Evo usb cable

    One of my close friends is a Nagra/AirTight Dealer. During Covid with nothing to do, we spend hours painstakingly improving our digital Front End. We carefully without bias compared various USB Cables, from inexpensive to Nose Bleed pricing. It was NOT close. Sablon Wins. We then but not as...

    Sablon USB cable - 2020 model

    Gentelmen: I was exposed the Sablon USB last year. I use it for my Windows laptop with Audiovarna to a Nagra Tube DAC I did an extensive 500 hour burn in. Brought the USB cable to my dealer for shootout with various USB cables. Some of these cables were 3-5X the cost of Sablon. I will just...

    new Nagra Tube DAC

    Just received my Tube DAC. I had the HD DAC, did the upgrade. My first impression was much more dynamic range. Playing CD's via my Olasonic CDT, it was very obvious. Much more bloom and HUGE soundstage! I need advice on procuring a more sophisticated CDT. NuPrime makes one for $800 or $1800...

    new Nagra Tube DAC

    I have the HD DAC and PSU. I have a basic CDT. So far, the performance of the CDT is heavily dependent on the DAC. If looks don't matter, a basic CDT is good enough. The CEC is beautiful! If I do upgrade the CDT, the unit from Acoustic Plan from Germany is compact and a work of art. The Nagra...

    Upgrade path from Triton v3 (Typhon or DPC-6)

    Just installed the Typhon QR along with my Triton V3. This is a Significant improvement in the Blackness of the soundstage. I am a fanatic when it comes to power. Have a full blown Equitech, StealthAudio Silver Socket and Furutech everywhere. Will be testing Typhon dedicated to my tube amp.

    Typhon QR review

    I just burned in my Typhon QR and Triton V3. This was a significant upgrade. If fact the two very comprehensive reviews and I got the identical results the reviewers did. This is RARE!

    new Nagra Tube DAC

    Thanks for the update. I have owned the HD DAC for six months. Primarily with Tidal. I demoed the Classis DAC, the HD DAC blew it away. I appreciate your updates. Probably going Tube DAC next year.

    Nagra HD DAC with Classic PSU

    The HD DAC-X is there new Reference DAC. It's a two box product. It's on the new Nagra Website. It was launched at the Rocky Mt. Audio show last October. It's the step from the Tube DAC or HD DAC.

    Nagra HD DAC with Classic PSU

    It's interconnect from hour Nagra DAC to your Preamp is the most critical. I have tried quite a few. Unfortunately the best one is the Chord Music reference interconnect. Very expensive.

    Nagra HD DAC with Classic PSU

    I I meant the IC FROM the DAC TO Preamp. For some reason this cable is critical. It may be different from the VPS TO your preamp. The CLASSIC PSU IS A GAME CHANGER!
