QSA LANEDRI Series

I am in a similar situation: NO PROBLEM. I use two Veridion power strips as extension cords into the wall outlet then into my DC blocker then into my LessLoss power distributor . One power strip into the wall another power strip into that one then a Veridion AC cord into the second power strip and on to the rest as above. The impact is immensely positive. I think everyone has used up all the adjectives but briefly: tonal density, depth I have never heard before and musical expression. it's so discerning that in playing a CD I found I did not like the drumming on cut one but everything else was great and the drumming was much better on the subsequent tracks. I had listened to this CD dozens of times and never had a hint of a difference- one could use the system to audition musicians now which I would have never said about any other system I've heard- it's just wondefully musically and potentially emotionally expressive- but to be clear the sound quality on this disc is 4/10 at best- it does not matter- the music is there As an old former Linn turntable user and fan I think of this set up as sounding like a 400 pound Linn. I want to emphasize that the second power strip actually added much more SQ than the first- not what one usually gets in this universe of diminishing returns. An idea that's only half a joke: a "conditioner" box with AC in and out plugs and 20 meters of Veridion AC wound inside. More seems to be more music.

Great to hear you’re experiencing the benefits of daisy-chaining the Discovery Veridion power strips!

What you’re describing really captures what makes the Veridion tech special. There are two things we’ve found unique about it:
  1. The usual law of diminishing returns doesn’t seem to apply — every added cable continues to lift the performance to another level.
  2. There’s no trade-off between musical qualities — the whole presentation just becomes more cohesive and emotionally engaging.

Awesome to see it coming through in your setup!
 
I higly recommend the Veridion coaxial cable. I don't stream but I inserted on into my TV cable box and WOW! Color density , continuousness ( you don't know you want it till you have it) and very important for sport viewing fluidity of motion. Basketball is just much easier to follow with less effort- parallel to musical expression in audio I think. I have a Veridion AC into my TV set up an HDMI from the cable box into the TV and now the coaxial cable into the cable box. All were pluses and I would rate them this way: if the coax is set arbitrarily as a 10 then the AC was a5 and the HDMI a 2 or 3- to be clear that's degree of improvement not quality per se- they all help.

I don't stream music (old CD guy) but if I did I would consider a coax cable into my system first. It does a LOT for video.

Your rating aligns with our own findings — the router consistently shows the highest impact on overall performance: post-1079881

Powering the router or switch with the Discovery Veridion DC cable will reveal a whole new level of performance in your setup, beyond what you’ve experienced so far.

Great, thank you. Exactly what I was looking for.

What about the ONT/fiberbox, there is before the router… wouldn’t it benefits more than a router or switch, when it gets a Discovery Veridion: DC cable, RJ45 cable and a AC cable?

We haven’t tested that specific component, but here’s what we’ve seen so far. In one of our labs, we’re running internet via satellite, and when we applied Veridion to the cable going from the dish to the router, the overall performance improved a lot.

From our experience, the rule of thumb is: the higher up in the signal chain you go, the stronger the impact. So, we’re expecting that using the Discovery Series cables on the ONT/Fiber box will make an even bigger difference than at the router level.

We also plan to test Veridion directly on the satellite dish at some point—but that’s a story for another day.
 
An audiophile friend brought the Veridion sample cables to my home, and I was blown away by the sudden improvement in the staging and clarity when I switched my power cables to Veridion. Promptly placed an order for four and have been enjoying them since receiving them. Placed an order for additional two just now.

By the way, the customer service is awesome. Anas has been very prompt to responding to my inquiries. Thanks, Anas!
 
Based on our finding, we find the priority on the impacts with our technology from upstream to downstream components with this priority on descending level:
0. ONT/Fiber box! (Not tested)
1. Router and then switches
2. Server
3. Preamp
4. DAC
5. Amplifier
For those of us who cannot choose or afford a full loom of Veridion-treated cables and need to prioritize, would ONT/Fiber box/modem , routers and switches still have roughly equal and biggest impact? or is the order now more clearly ONT/Fiber box → router → switch?

Or are all three still close in importance? And only after that do we go down in impact — server → preamp → DAC → amplifier.

I hope you understand that by making the Veridion cables more accessible — at roughly one-tenth or less of the original price — you reach a different audience with different priorities. Likewise, when I choose between Veridion Discovery DC, AC, or LAN cables, I also have to set my own priorities.

Or maybe all these Discovery ‘teaser cables’ will eventually disappear, leaving only the high-end models. But then again, you mentioned “access for all” and products like the Veridion switches and routers, which seem to go in the opposite direction. And that gives hope to many of us.

Why not purchase some and do your own experiments? Not only would you gain a greater understanding, sharing your findings here would benefit others.

I appreciate the suggestion, but that’s not really my point. I’m asking the designer directly, in reference to what he mentioned earlier about the hierarchy of impact.

And just for context, if you’ve followed this thread, you’ll know I already purchased a couple of Veridion items. My question is simply about understanding the designer’s current thinking.

Generally the greatest value you can give yourself, with your system, is to test in your system. No two are alike, and though general recommendations have been given, those should be outweighed by your own testing and observations. If your entire hi-fi experience is dictated to you by others, then I guarantee you're missing out on both a lot of enjoyment and performance. At some point you need to just get stuck in and try it. The time spent asking the manufacturer 87 questions could be spent experimenting and enjoying music while you learn. An The AC cable is still the AC cable, regardless of what it's connected to.

For those of us who cannot choose or afford a full loom of Veridion-treated cables and need to prioritize, would ONT/Fiber box/modem , routers and switches still have almost equal and greatest impact, or is the order now more clearly ONT/Fiber box → router → switch?

The priority list is provided as a guideline to illustrate the relative magnitude of impacts based on our findings, helping to plan the upgrade path for this journey. However, it is important to note that the impact of the Discovery Series cables across different components is not interchangeable. The nature of their influence on a router, for example, differs from their effect on a server, DAC, and other components.

The Discovery Series unlocks the true potential of every component, and every element in the system contributes its own unique influence on musical performance.

Experimenting with the Discovery Series across various components will not only help you better understand the character of its impact but also guide you in planning a more informed and effective upgrade path for your system.

The Discovery Series began as a simple idea, a way to showcase Veridion technology at audio shows without any added variables. We intentionally used “basic” cables to keep the focus entirely on the technology itself, rather than on conductor purity, geometry, or elaborate cable designs. The goal was straightforward: to let listeners experience the pure impact of Veridion on sound quality.

To our surprise, many show attendees began asking if they could try the same A/B comparisons at home. Their curiosity and enthusiasm encouraged us to make the Discovery Series available as a limited commercial offering, giving more people the chance to experience the same difference we demonstrated at the shows.

Since then, the Discovery Series has grown beyond its original purpose. Our vision is to develop it into a complete, end-to-end lineup of cables and components that allow music lovers to experience Veridion technology throughout their entire system. However, to make this vision sustainable, we must achieve the right economies of scale with each product we introduce. Without that community support, we may eventually have to reconsider how the line continues.

We’re deeply grateful to everyone who has shared their experiences so far. Your feedback, discussions, and honest impressions have been instrumental in shaping the journey of the Discovery Series.

Share your experience here or on any platform where you connect with fellow audiophiles. Every review and conversation helps others discover what makes these cables special, and helps us continue expanding the Discovery Series toward its full, end-to-end potential.

I currently have 2 Veridion's in my system: AC Cord on my NA Tempus network switch and LAN from my server to the switch

Listening at 270 hours I am even more impressed on the impact to my system

There is a song I use solely for testing (Bubbles by Yosi Horikawa). There is a lot going on in this song. It's a good test song. I have never heard it sound anything like this. Almost holographic

Another recording (You Can Bring Me Flowers by Ray Lamontagne) really shows out the improvement in cymbals and instrument separation. Something I noticed in the soundstage that was so good/odd were instruments seemingly on top of my head. Crazy

In my experience some of these types of tweaks create a noticeable change. And that change is not always good. In this case I can say I definitely want more of what this is bringing to my system. There is a realness to the instruments that as a musician I can appreciate.

I'm impressed enough that I want to get everything from my router to my network switch and server. So I will need 3 Veridion LAN's to go from my router (Unifi Dream Machine) to my NA Tempus (near my audio equipment). The router has a C7 cord but I bought the adapter @kennyb123 mentioned and will get a Veridion on that as well. And I will also swap out the AC cord on my server which has an AQ Hurricane.


One question to Anas @QSA-LANEDRI regarding directionality on LAN cables: I have my router in a network closet and my audio network switch near my audio equipment (with the server plugged into that). Considering the server is on the switch, should the directionality still be Router to Switch? Assuming yes due to streaming content (IE Qobuz) but just curious if there is some vagueness there.

Thank you

In addition to using the Discovery Veridion AC Power Cable with the power supply of your NA Tempus network switch, I recommend trying the Discovery Veridion DC Extension Cable on the switch itself. The results will surprise you, its impact is different in nature from the AC cable.

An LPS is in the works to join the Discovery Series, and it’s showing transformative results with all DC components we’ve tested so far.

Listening at 270 hours I am even more impressed on the impact to my system

The burn-in improvements are quite significant during the initial phase, almost exponential in how quickly they appear. But with Veridion technology, the process doesn’t really stop there. The sound keeps evolving with regular use, just at a slower and more gradual pace.

There is a song I use solely for testing (Bubbles by Yosi Horikawa). There is a lot going on in this song. It's a good test song. I have never heard it sound anything like this. Almost holographic

Bubbles by Yosi Horikawa has been one of my go-to test tracks for years. The way the bubbles move through space is great for checking soundstage — it sounds so real, it’s almost spooky.

In my experience some of these types of tweaks create a noticeable change. And that change is not always good. In this case I can say I definitely want more of what this is bringing to my system.

What really sets the Veridion technology apart is that there are no trade-offs between the improvements it brings. In the audio and visual world, most manufacturers face the constant challenge of choosing which characteristics to enhance — often at the expense of others.

The Discovery Veridion Power Strip is a great way to experience this difference firsthand. It clearly reveals the kinds of degradations that occur with many other power distributors and conditioners, regardless of their price. Often, when those products lower the noise floor, they also narrow the frequency spectrum and dull the overall presentation — something that usually goes unnoticed unless you can lower the noise floor to the same level without limiting the spectrum. This is exactly where our Veridion technology excels, and we truly find it unique in the market in that regard.

With the Discovery Veridion Power Strip, the noise floor drops to an unprecedented level, yet the full frequency spectrum remains intact. The result isn’t just cleaner sound — it’s a more alive and emotionally engaging musical experience and It’s a revelation to realize just how sterile the sound had been before. Experiencing it firsthand is a revealing and genuinely fun experience to discover something so unexpected.

There is a realness to the instruments that as a musician I can appreciate.

Realism was the first thing that struck us when we tried to describe the impact of the Veridion technology during its early development. We chose the name Veridion to capture that sense of realism — Realness could have been just as fitting.

Bringing more joy to music and video experiences for everyone who joins this journey is how we measure success. And when that appreciation comes from a musician, it means even more, it reminds us exactly why we do what we do.

I'm impressed enough that I want to get everything from my router to my network switch and server. So I will need 3 Veridion LAN's to go from my router (Unifi Dream Machine) to my NA Tempus (near my audio equipment).

We found the impact to be even greater than on the switch. Experimenting with the Discovery Series on the server will help you understand how the effect differs from one component to another.

Our Veridion technology is directional. Between the router and the switch, the arrow on the Discovery Veridion LAN cable should point toward the switch. Between the switch and the server, the arrow should point toward the server.

Thank you

You’re most welcome! And thank you for your detailed feedback, it really helps others discover the same joy we’ve all found with Veridion technology.

Thank you for the comments, advice and feedback Anas. Just placed my order.

Quick question on "Between the switch and the server, the arrow should point toward the server". Is this true even if the server is not sending it's output on to the DAC? In my system the server and the router are plugged into my network switch. And I go out from that switch to my DAC via LAN. So if I am pointing the arrow towards the server I'm not really following the signal path (at least in my mind :)). Just want to be sure we are on the same page.

Thanks again Anas

@f.demello Maybe this is helpful?
As you know, QSA Lanedri LAN cables are directional and it would be intuitive to think that the cables should be directed to each component but we have not found that to always be the case. With my RoonServer, since it is the source of the file that eventually leads to an endpoint, we have found better SQ if the cable directionally leads away from the RoonServer. Obviously, listen for yourselves and go with what sounds better to you.

Thanks, Anas! That’s clear and appreciated. I’ve actually already dived in with the Veridion cables, and the results have been very convincing. For budget reasons I probably won’t go for a full loom, so I’m just trying to understand where each piece brings the most value. For me, a mix of structured conversation and experimentation brings the best results.

You really caught my interest when you mentioned the even better results from treating the ONT/modem compared to the router. I’m also very aware that some users, like Romaz here, might experience a different hierarchy of results due to a different setup. So it’s natural that the hierarchy of results can vary which makes the conversation even more interesting.

The rule of thumb is simple: the cable direction should follow the signal path. It’s quite easy to notice when the direction is wrong — the sound becomes a bit compressed and closed-in, almost like it’s trapped in a box. When oriented correctly, the sound opens up beautifully, with a sense of space and effortless flow.

If you’re using the server to play local files, the direction should go from the server toward the switch. But if your server is used mainly for streaming, then the direction should go from the switch toward the server.

That said, I definitely recommend trying both directions — it’s a fun and revealing experiment to hear how the presentation changes.
