This cable thing is mysterious....year after year debate keeps going and no conclusion in sight. I also made comparison year ago and went with couple hundred cable (from dac to active speakers) , never thought I would do that but couldn`t back off after my test. Cables were unshielded......ok, next is nuts and my thinking only.............. I have been listening khadas tone board dac....there is no case......it sounds like there is no case...that it is in open air........so I have started to think is there some quantum mechanical parameters in electricity etc. that we can`t measure.....unshielded cables, dac with no case.......space, matter and time...
