  1. New HDPlex 300W replaced previous 200W version. It is powering Hugo 2, JCat Extreme USB card and HDPlex 800W DC-ATX board. I think this new 300W version is much better than previous one. It sounds more relaxed and dynamic at the same time. These are early impressions with limited burn in, I expect it will only improve with time.
  2. It was about 530€ when I bought mine. I think it varies depending on currency rates.
  3. View Classified Curious Cables Evolved Usb Sold I have a 120 cm Curious Evolved Usb cable for sale. It´s in mint condition with original package. https://www.monoandstereo.com/2019/10/curious-cables-evolved-usb-cable-review.html http://singaporehifi.blogspot.com/2019/11/curious-evolved-usb-cable.html Seller Jukka Date 08/02/20 Price Category Cables
  4. Sounds pretty amazing with this new firmware, much improved over the original one 😃
  5. This has been exactly my experience with these same components, very transparent, natural sound. I have Curious between JCAT Femto usb card and ISORegen with Uptone LPS1 and the USPCB to the DXIO PRO3Z converter.
  6. Hi Felipe, Yes, I meant the Kimber 12TC. No doubt a better than stock itx/atx cable does improve sound, just as better power cables and power sources usually do. That has been my experience as well. Very important for most natural and transparent sound possible. If your friend compared the Audiopheeling sata cable to Pachanko Reference I am not surprised he found the Audiopheeling much better. Pachankos newer Pure Reference is also lots better compared to the Reference.
  7. Hi Audiotruth, Sounds like I might really like Pachankos Iteration, of course these things come down to preferences and tastes and different setups too. Another interesting usb cable is Phasure Lush which seems to have good synergy with ISO Regen. Hi Felipe, Your DIY braided cable looks beautiful, did you compare it to the stock cable to see if there is difference to how they sound ? Audiopheeling cables looks promising too, little more expensive than Pachanko for us europeans though (shipping and customs)
  8. Hi Audiotruth, Thanks, really good to have more information about Pachankos cables. I'm currently using a Curious to ISORegen to USPCB chain and it sounds very good, just like to always see if there is something better. Will be interesting to hear how the Iteration compares to USPCB. Did you find Pachanko Iteration much different/better than Curious ?
  9. Yes, Pachanko Pure Reference sata is amazing. In my setup it is much better than the Reference sata cable. Just so much more musical information coming through now. Haven`t seen much talked about the Iteration usb cable. Any comparisons to Curious or other well regarded cables would be interesting.
  10. I had some time for testing of AO 2.0 this weekend, so here are my thoughts.. Lately I had been trying out the Server 2016 Preview 3 in GUI mode, was not really impressed with it as is. Yesterday I installed first Win 10 Pro + AO 2.0, this was better, but for comparison I went for Server 2012 R2 with desktop experience + AO 2.0 which was clear improvement, I mean really good =) Actually quite magical tonality, sense of space, effortless rhythm and pace, I got drawn in to music. AO 2.0 seems to be quite an improvement over previous AO version. These tests were done on single PC with HDPlex linear power source, Intel i5 4670t, 2x Jcat battery power for OS SSD and Jcat Usb Card, PPA Black Sata cable, Curious Usb Cable to Regen with linear power source+ Sbooster Ultra+ Curious Cable Regen Link to Deqx HDP-5 Dac/preamp. Played music with Jplay and Tidal/Chrome. There was no bugs in regards installation that I could find.. Hopefully next weekend I will have time to test Dual PC setup, that should be just great.
