decisions : sn2 + hicup + nd5xs + ndac + xps vs sn2 + hicup + ndx

Posted by: oferr on 29 April 2017

Hello everybody.

As you can surely understand, there is this problem : If I take the latter,no more ndac or xps, but ndx.

I will appreciate your thoughts.

My thought is that you have an almost identical thread in the HiFi Corner, and we really don't need another one. The answer is to listen and decide for yourself, surely?

I wonder whether the "sn2 + hicup" in your post title wasn't a typo or a subliminal leading answer, especially if you're considering putting the non-DR'd version of a Hicap on an SN2, in which case you'd be killing the DR feature of the SN2.

Joe is right here - adding a non-DR HiCap to SN2 is a bit pointles. SN2 + HiCap DR makes sense and is a popular upgrade - some forum members swear by it, some prefere their SN2s bare.
