Well i disagree with a generic USB cable being as good as an audio usb cable, you can hear the difference and being an amateur radio full license holder i can also say try 23cm on RG58 against palomi 13mm and see a gain of S9 on signal. quality cables do make a difference along with linear PSU's again by there very nature being switch mode all so shown in the amateur radio hobby.

But at the end of the day each to there own thoughts.

Absolutely... but one can't choose "facts" that are not factual.

You will need to prove that one thoroughly ... otherwise it is unsubstantiated garbage.

Can you show where anyone has demonstrated they can hear a difference? Can you demonstrate that you can?

Be brave. Be the first to show us what we are missing.

I now have the 4215/E2 in a very nice setup with the Eversolo A6 master edition with linear PSU fitted with USB in to RME ADI2 DAC also with linear PSU and finally connected to my triangle BR08 speakers. this sounds awesome and the 4215 sounds wonderful via Qobuz

For the people who believe you can just use cheap connecting cables i have listened to the difference and can hear it. this goes for XLR and usb cables. I use the BoXem XLR cables from RME AD12 DAC to amp and a high grade USB cable from eversolo AD6 to DAC. the quality of the cables can make a difference you can hear.

have a look here

This 4215 amp sounds great so don't skimp on the cables, they are worth it.

How much did you spend on these assorted cables?
How and where did you get your information that cables can sound so much better?
What are you hearing that makes you think they actually sound better?
Is this your first time listening to better cables and thinking they sound better?

If anyone wants to check out cables plenty of proof on utube, but lets face it, if you belong to the earth's flat brigade then no matter what anyone else says you don't believe.

For myself the USB cable made a lot of difference over a generic one, plenty of evidence on utube as i said so go watch some, expand your mind!

I think you need to sort out the difference between claims and evidence, and what proof actually is.

Since you've decided that insulting the forum and ignoring reality is your best option, I'll let you move along.

Rg58 is not specified for 23cm.

 

[Sernyl]

The 23cm band frequency is around 1240 MEGA Hz.

I use Supra-cables because they are made in sweden, a couple of hours drive from here.

1ET7040SA has been out for awhile now, how come Boxem Audio doesn't offer it in stereo?

 

[n00brx]

I think they were busying to develop the multi channel amp

I guess I'm in the club now.

I have no idea how my last amp measured, but I believe it was designed to be a color box. Tubey/syrupy kind of sound if you'll excuse the subjective terminology. There were aspects of it that I really liked, but it was a "yeah, but" sort of deal. What I mean by that is I was always thinking to myself "Yeah those vocals sound amazingly life-like, but I really wish that bass wasn't so vague". That's just an example. Different albums had different problems.

This 4215/E2 isn't like that. It's just as others have described. Absolute control and transparency. My speakers have a treble switch that I used to adjust constantly trying to find the best setting. After hooking up the 4215/E2 I settled fairly quickly on the 'correct' setting for me/my room. This thing is less than half the price of my last amp too, so I made some money on the trade in. Couldn't be happier.

Cable quality can make difference in how the digitally modulated usb signals travel.

But if the bits are decoded correctly, hearing a difference is very unlikely.

 

[imdamo]

Can we move on from the cable stuff please? There is a million other threads to argue about that.

I don't argue

That's fine. My comment wasn't directed at you specifically, but there's been page after page of off topic cable debate in this thread at this point.

Do you have anything to say in regards to Boxem's 4215/E2?
