For ss phonamps, the best that I have auditioned are CH P10, FM Acoustics 223 and Eisteddfod 240.
I listened to the HSE too briefly so no definite conclusion could be made.
P10 is the quietest among the three. The sonic character is more neutral than 223 & 240.

Yes, I myself have not auditioned it yet, so I suggested WBF to listen to them, preferably a home trial.
Currently I stand by the Taiko Extreme Switch, Zayin Audio Stargate Switch and the Esiscreation switches.
I listened to all of them and am using the former two.

I'm using the Vertere HBS powercord for my own Taiko Extreme Server.
The best pairing powercord for Taiko Extreme Server I have ever auditioned is the QSA-Lanedris Spectral Series Prince powercord.
However I can't afford it.

TLi treated me with music the whole afternoon in his den today.
Thanks Thomas!
The Goldmund Mimesis Reference Preamp & 8800 monoblocks were both eye- & ear-catching!
BTW for such flagship grade components, fine-tuning & tweakings are essential for them to express their full potential.

I must say that Emile/Taiko Audio is the pioneer, applying Direct Attach Cables in their CAS products.
Ben Lau, the Taiko dealer in Hong Kong tried several IT industry DAC cables in the Taiko CAS connection and they gave different sonic performance. It's fun!
Here comes the first DAC cable...
What's inside this smallish box I received from Westminster Lab?
Yes, it's the Westminster Lab dc cable for my MSB Select Transport!
This is the original black colour dc cable included with my Select transport :
