PS Audio Direct Stream

The mind boggles, Ozzy . . . .!

I am sure there is some type of IC splitter that will let me run two sets of IC's into one input pair. but that does not sound optimal, espcially with a RCA to XLR adaptor to begin with.

Thanks.

I just downloaded the new firmware update. Wow, quite an improvement in "air". I now have 360 hours on the DS.

Ozzy that's exactly what the recent review from Audiostream claimed, the latest firmware gave more presence and space.

@ Nglazer, Did you need to burn-in the cardas RCA to XLR adapters?, If so, How do they sound?, do they take much from the sound, what is your honest impressions of the cardas Adapters?, Excuse me gentleman for getting off topic, this will not take long, thankyou.

It is always hard to know how much one tweak if affecting the overall sound, but in this case it was easy. These are far far superior to the BAT adaptors they replaced (and they were pretty good), and MUCH better than the old Cardas black adaptors which went for $50-$60/pair. These were $150/pr at Music Direct, are very substantial and high quality.

I cannot tell how much subtraction from what the sound would be if I had XLR terminations on the IC, but my pre is all unbalanced so I am not sure that would have changed anything.
