Nordost Brahma vs Heimdall 2 power cords

dcs debussy
i really enjoy playing music through my mac mini running on amarra. DAC is mcintosh c48 connected through USB for its DAC.Question:1. I dont think i'll be able to audition any DAC to be used in my system at home before purchase. Does anyone think ... 
the best, cost-no-object, music streamer?
I hear you all.From reading the posts it seems music streamer needs to be a dedicated unit like sooloos, aurender, linn etc. I've only seen and hear the sooloos. seems the presentation (demo) wasnt setup well in front of me. or probly the music wa... 
Nordost Brahma vs Heimdall 2 power cords
HiJust want to make this a full circle. I took the plunge and bought brahma PC replacing Heimdall Norse 2 PC.I like the Brahma much much better. Highs are more relaxed but retained its form. Bass is well defined, controlled but quite deep.Advise t...

Anyone heard the Nordost Odin cables ?
Thankful, I like your nickname. Soothing to read. I agree that choice of cables is very subjective. Am glad youve found your 'best' cable. Your best is your best, dont listen to anybody else but your ear.Enjoy your music ;-)

Apologies.Been busy at work can only return now to this thread.I came across an exhibition displaying dCs Puccini CDP/SACD coupled with its U clock unit. Amazing sound through B&W 800D with Classe monoblocks. I played a Adele red book Skyfall,...

Nordost Quattro Fil is still good
Been trying to find secondhand qfils and/or Valkyrja's here in a'gon but havent been lucky. This may explain that the current owners are very happy with them. 
NORDOST VISHNU 2M AND MCINTOSH MC-501
It is a matter of taste. I personally use mc352 and nordost power cables do complement nicely. I would advise you to eye the brahma instead though for brahmas better bass delivery 
Nordost Quattro Fil is still good
I agree that Norse 2 is better than the original but amazingly Valhallas are still around as reference cable even after a decade. 
Anyone heard the Nordost Odin cables ?
David12,My Valhallas cost me a total 50% of my system. And am not regretting every morning i look at my smiling self in the bathroom mirrorNeed to work harder to replace kids college fund, though :-)
