Also placed my order, mine is for the DC cable. It will be in series after the cheap male to male umbilical cable that came with the device, looking forward to a noticeable improvement.
Eventually I will visit my friend and compare to his Mundorf Angelique cable on the same device.

I hope you will report your observations. The QSA-L Gamma Infinity DC extension is one of my most impactful cables so I am expecting good things from the Veridion version. I will order one at some point but I promised myself that I will get some unused components sold before buying anything else.
We didn’t test that setup, but it should work too. What we did try was chaining multiple switches with Veridion in series, and the effect gets amplified.
That idea came up when I was looking at this particular cable from Acoustic Revive, they already patented that in Japan but we could actually do even better with 16 cables

I was not sure because what I’ve learned here suggests that LAN Veridion acts on noise propagation in the network layer (strongest upstream at the router and switch). Its effect happens along the path the data actually traverses. So unused ports or devices not in the data flow may benefit less? AC Veridion however, focuses on field quieting and stabilizing the power domain, (with the strongest effect when directly attached at the wall outlet).
To resume my understanding of Veridion here: Both ethernet and AC benefit from treated mass, thickness, and proximity. LAN treatment optimizes the data and noise path but is limited by the mass in Ethernet cables, unless multiple cables are connected together or the switch or router itself is Veridion treated. AC treatment stabilizes the power and ground field, with thicker cables performing better.
Then adding LAN treatment along the data path amplifies the effect, but it remains confined to the network domain rather than the entire system’s ‘power’ field?
Just to clarify, do you say cascading multiple Veridion treated switches amplifies the effect? SQ improvement can happen even with untreated switches. Instead it seems that the Veridion-specific benefit comes for example from chaining treated LAN cables or connecting the Discovery power strip directly to the wall, rather than to a power conditioner? Just trying to understand until what point and where exactly in the chain adding Veridion (mass) offers an advantage or not. Hope you will find time to test more.

Maximum performance is achieved when Veridion is integrated across the entire end-to-end chain. Today, this is made possible through our power and signal cables, and we’re expanding our catalogue to include every connection required for the whole setup. Next, we’ll take the Discovery Series even further, introducing components as of routers, streamers, to speakers, and headphones.
Almost all of the current batch orders were dispatched last week. Only a few are left, and those are scheduled to go out this week. DHL Express should’ve sent automated tracking emails, but sometimes they don’t go through. We’ll be sending all tracking info manually today to make sure no one’s left waiting.
We’ve also been working around the clock to increase our production capacity so we can bring the lead time down to about one week, and we’re almost there!
Huge thanks to everyone for your patience and understanding with the longer-than-usual lead times. The number of orders really exceeded our expectations (in a good way!), and we’re grateful for all the support.
Once we stabilize at around a one-week lead time, our next step is to build up some stock so we can ship even faster, ideally in less than a week.
My Discovery coax cable, DC cables, and treated NEMA adapters (for my Discovery power strips I already bought) arrived yesterday. I've ordered more Discovery power strips, so I will have two Discovery strips daisy chained together, in each of my speaker system and in my headphone system.
Anas, quick question about the Discovery coax cable:
Coax Wall Outlet > Discovery coax cable for internet > router > wireless > switch > Discovery ethernet > audio system
In the above setup, would you expect the Discovery coax to make a difference? I will try when I get some free time, but wanted to ask. If not, my plan is to install it in another room for just TV use.
I received another package yesterday that included a pair of Discovery power cords and an Ethernet cable. What I was most eager to try was one of the cords on the K50. This was the last holdout as far as QSA treatment as it was powered by a Shunyata Delta v2. I opted for evaluating a completely burned in Discovery by pulling it from my TV (with one of the new ones going in its place).
I wasn’t expecting a very obvious improvement for a few reasons - one being that I was left underwhelmed when I tried the original flavor of Discovery on the K50. This was replaced at no charge as an error caused this to get a fraction of treatment. What a difference with the full treatment. I immediately heard an improvement and it wasn’t what I’d call subtle. I still can’t believe the increase in realism that’s I heard from the cymbals on one of my favorite reference tracks. Clarity has again improved but it was the increase in explosiveness that surprised.
The improved clarity provided some nice dividends with the other tracks I played. So much easier to hear everything that’s going on. That was aided by spatial improvements that made it easier to “see” what was happening around me.
After I accustom myself to the new normal, I will insert that ethernet cable in series with the three that already are one cable away from spanning the distance from my wall jack to my switch. The other power cord I purchased will likely go to the Farad Super3 powering my router.
Wanted to report that some of the 5.5x2.5 cables and equipment work with the 2.1 cable.
Network acoustic Tempus is 2.5 and fits perfectly. While Nagra streamer 2.5 cable fits but the qsa 2.1 doesn’t fit into the streamer and needed an adapter.
Added some more qsa power cables and Ethernet cables. Added to power cables to NA Tempus, uptone Js4 and amplifier.
Received my 2 Discovery cables this week: Power cord and LAN cable/RJ45 coupler
Put the PC on my NA Tempus power supply (plugged into a AQ Niagara 5000) and the Discovery LAN was the last 7': Router>Blue Jeans Cat6>QSA LAN>Tempus Network switch
Cold out of the box I can't say my system sounded better. Certainly not bad but not better. Maybe a bit worse. I guess I'll burn it in for the 900-1000 hours people are reporting. But in my system there really was no impact.
