Has anyone heard the 47 labs Shigaraki DAC?


I have read two favorable reviews on the Shigaraki DAC. I am glad to see a company attempting to make the most out of the standard CD format. While the other formats fight it out.

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.
Kforton, nice tweek. I want to try it. How did you strip the insulation of OTA? With wire-strippers? heat? I cannot pull off more than, say, 10cm at a time.
