    Neutral USB Interconnect for DAC

    The DAC that I used has a seperate cable for powering it up. But I still heard differences by switching the USB cables around. I did some recordings just to serve as refences. You can try those recording out yourself and let me know whether you heard any differences. :) And since we are just...

    Kef R100 v LS50s v R300

    Never tried those 2 brands before. You can audition those 3 speakers first and see. Last time when i tried out with roksan k2, they sound not bad. You can also try out monitor audio rx1 8)

    Kef R100 v LS50s v R300

    Just my personal opinion, many highly regarded standmount speakers are consider not easy to drive by £700 amp at low volume level. But you can try these 3 speakers first, Q Acoustics 2020i, Concept 20 and B&W 685. Or try consider some floormount?

    Roksan Caspian M2 or Naim Niat XS for Kef Q300

    Personally, i prefer roksan over naim for kef speaker. However, if you intend to upgrade to ATC scm11 in the future and normally play songs below half or 1/3 of the sound volume, try get atc sia2. During my audition at a shop last time, roksan m2 seem to have some problem to drive atc scm11 in...
