DC1 between Sonos and SN worth it?

Posted by: DT79 on 12 September 2010

Hi,

I'm currently using a QED reference coax cable between my Sonos ZP90 and SN.

I'm looking for opinions as to whether it would be worth upgrading to a DC1, or maybe the best value for money upgrade might be to something not quite so costly (I have been toying with Kimber DV-30 which has been well reviewed).

I don't think I'm likely to be getting a Naim DAC or front-end in the forseeable future (as much as I'd love to), so this would have to be an upgrade that stands on it's own merits with the kit I've currently got.

Thanks.

I have the DC1, a cheaper alternative from Ultra Cables, and a couple of "freebies". Darned if I can reliably tell the difference among any of them. Others may claim I have cloth ears.

If you can, see if you can borrow one from your dealer.

It it were me, I'd put the money toward software, or a box upgrade.
