Recommend me XLR interconnect for new PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC
 

I just ordered a Stellar Gain DAC/Pre-amp, and will need 1.5 meter XLR interconnects to go to my Krell power amp. I don't want to spend too much, hopefully not over $500, but then again, this interconnect needs to be open and dynamic sounding. Any suggestions appreciated.

Wireworld Eclipse will meet your budget. That’s what I use with great results. :thumbsup:

Ivan will take care of you. :D

Thanks, I've been looking at WW Silver Eclipse, but they get up there in price. Will check out the Eclipse.

Also, I found out that Silnote has a big sale going on now. Looking at their Morpheus Reference Classic XLR, which can be had for $345 for 1.5 meter.

I ended up ordering Silnote Morpheus Reference Classic XLR 1.5 meter for $345. Wireworld and Audio Sensibility were just too expensive for 1.5 meter. Although less expensive than those others, I believe and hope that the Silnote are a quality cable. I do know that they were employed to great effect at RMAF. We'll see how it sounds, perhaps compare some Wireworld at a later date.

The PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC and Silnote Morpheus Classic XLRs have now been up and running for a few days. I have my AVR connected to an analog input with my High Fidelity CT-1 interconnects, and have configured that input for Home Theater Mode. I connected my Oppo UDP-203 to the Stellar Gain with a Blue Jeans Cable 6 foot coaxial cable.

PS Audio say that the unit needs a couple hundred hours to fully break in, so I do not want to make any fast and hard judgements just yet. However, when using the home theater feature on analog input 2, I feel that I have lost a bit of clarity, compared to my previous setup, which had the AVR front L/R analog inputs running directly to the power amp(via High Fidelity CT-1 interconnects). Now, the CT-1s are running to analog input 2 on the Stellar Gain.

I'm not sure if my loss of clarity is occurring in the Stellar Gain itself, since it does have a class A analog stage, or if it is because I am now involving two interconnects, rather than one. I'm going to continue to break in the Stellar Gain for a while, but I suspect that the Silnote interconnects are not as clear as my High Fidelity CT-1s. If the clarity doesn't improve pretty soon, I think I'm going to try a set of Wireworld Silver Eclipse XLR.
