Has anyone heard the 47 labs Shigaraki DAC?

What powercord do you suggest for the Shigaraki DAC? So far, I have better results with Mapleshade on my Gaincard. Don't know if 47 Labs generally sound better with non-shielded powercords or not...

I responded back in June that I had heard the full Shigaraki system. Finally, after waiting several months for the equipment to come in, I own the full system sans phono section (which I will buy later). It is superlative. Everything just sounds so real. I think it has something to do with the Symposium Svelte Shelves I use, as well. They really improve on all of the strengths of 47 equipment. I also plan on adding Essential Sound Products power cords. They are quite dynamic and do not act as tone controls, like several of the more popular brands out there. I have the whole system hooked up with 47 Labs's OTA kit. I have heard the difference made by stripping the wire and coating it with some insulating paint (a cheap tweak); it was unbelievable. I mean truly night and day. Complete voodoo--except that it works and comes directly from Yoshi, the American distributor. I just need to get some better speakers. I have Proac 1S right now, and I am considering the Essence or entry-level Duevels. We'll see what my budget and my room can handle.

Kforton:

This is the first I have heard of this tweak. What specific type of "paint" is used. I might want to try this on the 8" OTA cables that connect my phono preamps. If I don't care for it I can always snip another 8" off my speaker cables and replace them. LOL.

This is more than a tweak; it dramatically changes the sound for the better. I don't understand how it works, but it certainly does. Yoshi recommends painting the wire with enamel, but the enamel has a tendency to crack off leaving the wire exposed. Also, you need to paint the wire a few times. The Canadian 47 distributor recommends acrylic paint in yellow or another easily visible color so that you can touch it up on a second coat. I heard a very nice system including the Shig digital gear and the Essence speakers with this "tweak." It was shocking. And we changed only one length of cable: the single run from the transport to the dac. With the stock wire, I noticed a sort of closed in top end and a little distortion in the highs. We changed the one cable, and it cleared right up. I couldn't believe it myself. I am going to do it myself once I get my act together. Good luck.

There is a review of the 4715 dac in the current (March) issue of Stereophile. I am not sure if this is the same dac as the shigiraki or not. But they appear to be similar.
