Hi again chayro,
Which Flatcap is the matching one for the CD5x: Flatcap 2 or Flatcap 2x? Also, what about a flatcap on the XS integrated? However, from what you're saying, I get the impression the bigger improvement comes from adding the flatcap to the cd player vs the integrated?
I was listening to my system last night. Man, is it sounding good! Thus far, the CD5x has been powered on since 2-17-19, and the XS since 2-20-19. From what I've read, these units can take several weeks to fully "warm" and be at their full listening potential?
As for the source cable, I'll be interesting to see if I hear any differences at all when going from an all RCA interconnect, to an all DIN interconnect. Of all the gear I've had over the years, the only two constants has been the Vandy 2C's and these Mogami RCA and speaker cables.
A guy on the Naim forum uses Mogami W2549 as well, except he had a custom DIN to DIN cable made at Redco using W2549. I might do that to if there is a noticeable improvement. Once I start building some funds again, a Flatcap for the cdp is my next step.
JSB
