Simply due to Mani's history talking up Phasure and talking down other DACs. This whole things reads a lot more like pushing Phasure than simple enthusiasm. If Phasure wants to send me a cable, I'll listen and report. Otherwise, not interested.

Not especially directed at JoeWhip, but just a comment:

 

People really need to get off Mani's case. He likes the Phasure and says so. He doesn't say other DACs suck, just that his favorite is the Phasure.  He doesn't in general talk down other DACs. He doesn't like the Schiit Yggy. His taste.

If you look around the audio based internet, there are lots of people who think the Yggy is great. There's also a not insignificant minority that thinks it really doesn't sound right.  So Mani isn't alone. 

 

I don't see why that is a problem. Other people like Lampizator, PSAudio, Mytek, etc.  Can't people express a preference either positively or negatively without getting attacked?

When someone else doesn't love a product you think is the best thing you've ever heard, they aren't attacking you personally. They're saying that for their ears and taste, they didn't like "X".

 

Grownups can handle that without going "forum crazy" on another poster or criticising him at every opportunity.

And Alex, I have been on the verge of stipulating that we could exchange some gear so I could use the ISO-Regen for this.  But I didn't because I'd have to wait for it while I have time for this today and probably not on any other day. Well, as you know, I promised you something ... 2 years ago ? And now this day has come.

OK, my mind is set to it finally.

 

One other thing : I am not on to subjective judgments other than what many know already, similar to what a few now know about the sound of the Lush cable. So my idea it to show why a cable etc. sounds like it does and then by means of the eye diagram.

So put yourself back one year. What was the advice : put the Regen close to the DAC. That is fine and we will see why that is.

I hope.

Peter-

Tried to find info about the Lush cable and how to order. Couldn't find it. 

Can someone direct me?

Rather blunt attack there for a legal eagle.  

How is that an attack? He was basically asking if on paper design  worked as expected in practice.
