I purchased the Fire. No, not a night and day difference, but overall the Fire is more balanced than the Niagara. There is a subtle difference that for some audiophiles it's hard to ignore. The most significant difference when I compared my Wireworld Platinum XLR to Niagara was with them going from the preamp to DAC. So, I have my Niagara going from amp to preamp. The Fire is going from preamp to DAC. I'll get another Fire in a month or so.
As far as speaker cables, I will have a home audition of Shunyata Alpha this weekend and hopefully Clarus Crimson in a week or so.
