  1. There are different designs used for both type of cables either for analogue or digital signal. These signals are different having different audio format. If you would use a similar type of cable for either signal source you would get a very audible difference. I have tried either way and every time I can hear a distinctive difference. I highly recommend to use a dedicated cable for a specific audio course. I personally use Malbru Silver CX coaxial cable and couldn't be happier, an absolute winner in my tests. Auditioning several pares is a good way to chose what you need.
  2. Hi, the NAD M51 looks as something to listen to as well as Chord Hugo TT. When I have a chance I will take my MB Tube DAC on Wolfson chips to an audio dealer to check them against my Tube DAC, I need to hear them for myself as so far my "exotic" designed MB Tube DAC is the best I heard, for me it is hard to imaging a better sound reproduction although everything in comparison as we know
  3. Hi, I have checked the Auralic Vega DAC - and it looks very good from what I see inside it. Glad you have a decent musical component, that is where the real performance come from, from serious audio gear including cables, interconnects not the least I'm REALLY curious to compare yours to my MB Tube DAC on Wolfson chips as so far I haven`t heared anything batter and your DAC looks as a serious contender If you are in London, let me know and if time is suitable you are welcome to come by.

  4. After auditioning quite a few DACs in different implementation, it became evident that Tube design DACs are very natural sounding with fast instruments reproduction without fatigue. I highly recommend to audition Tube DACs. For me the real winner was MB Tube DAC on Wolfson WM8741 chips, amazing results, music hangs in the air with speed and clarity. I can listen to my CD collection again for hours. This is sort of DACs you need to audition. Good quality product cost money no way around it - but it is surely worth it to enjoy your music for years to come!
  5. After auditioning quite a few DACs I like the Tube DAC implementation, very easy to listen and at the sane time fast and natural sounding instruments tube DACs can or should produce. My winner is MB Tube DAC on Wolfson WM8741 chips - amazing results, music hangs in the air with clarity and speed this is the only DAC I auditioned so far that is here to stay. These are custom made DACs you should find on Amazon under 1K. I think the key is to go to your local audio dealer and audition and buy what YOU like most. Same goes for interconnects, speaker cables or anything else for that matter, you need to compare different price points for a better purchase.
  6. Thanks Andrea for shearing your experiences. If you have a chance, try to audition Wolfson DACs or ES Sabre32 or any other leaders for that matter in Tube output configuration, that could be a real treat
  7. Implementation is the KEY here. If you chose a Tube DAC with Sabre ES9018 and professional design of the Tube components section, you will get a true Audiophile performer. Good Tube DACs mainly custom made and these DACs are worth to listen. I would recommend to audition MB™ DAC -SY1 Tube DAC that may be your BEST option. I heard other chips in a tube output mode on famous TDA1541 and Wolfson WM8741 interestingly enough all of them sound way above average street solid state gear with £1000k price tag. In my opinion based on experience, look to audition tube DACs with tubes output stage (no op-amps) to find what you need.
  8. As it has been said - the Chip implementation is the KEY! and speaking from experience, the same Wolfson Chip in one design either from Arcam or Naim or Sugden etc. sounds a bit or a lot more different. Now in professional DAC Tube design it is a whole lot different story and therefore a different level if and ONLY if a premium EXPENSIVE parts used in very good design. I personally prefer Tube design such as MB™ DAC -WM1 Tube DAC it takes a real High End product to wrestle with it. Small unknown companies can do a wonderful product.
