Bybee Audio tweeks. IQSE

Got two more iQSEs in on Friday. Put one in my CEC TL5 belt drive CD Transport, near the power supply. Wow! CECs are known as very "analog" sounding transports; relaxed and musical. The iQSE takes it a big step further in that direction. Loads of clear, natural, detail, integrated into an organic whole. There is a substantial increase in the sense of life and palpability, that pulls me further into the music. It's one of those "intending to play one or two tracks, and end up listening to the whole album" kind of changes.

I'm loving it, and am almost afraid to put the other iQSE in my DAC. I might never leave my listening room! 😉

I'm stuck in my listening room, and can't seem to get out. Don't send help!

I put the second iQSE in my DAC.

Tommylion,

how much more improvement you get from the iQSE on your DAC after you put 2 in your power conditioner and 1 in your transport? 5%? 10%?  Please let us know, thx.

Allan,

I had one iQSE on my Powerscreen and one in my transport. Putting one in my DAC made a clearly audible improvement. It’s hard to put a number on it, but I would say 10% is about right.

If I had to choose just one place to put one, I would say the transport is where it made the most difference. The DAC is a close second, though.

Thx!  Just trying to figure out what multiple iQSEs can do to the sound.
