One of the consequences of optimising ones music system in all respects, is that what used to sound like a song, is now so dissolved and nuanced that the song and music are blown to atoms. The amount of information to be processed by the brain becomes so overwhelming that the whole is difficult to grasp...
My trick was to close my eyes during the listening sessions. So you can create your own visual images composed of the audio impressions, and the song, instruments and music become easier to grasp.
With the Sablon 2020 USB cable in my system, I felt like I was on target with my upgrades. The Sablon 2020 USB cable made my fantastic new Denafrips Pontus DAC even better. Everything that the Pontus DAC does better than most traditional chip-based DACs, was now presenting even better and with better precision. It was like the icing on the cake.
I have loop-played with the Sablon 2020 USB cable around 100 hours over the last week, listening occasionally, but overall expressions are constantly changing. In other words, I'm not there yet, with burn-in. Don't get me wrong, it simply sounds amazing. The Sablon USB does not color the music - it enhances what is already good, and it greatly eliminates what damages the audio signal. At that price, this USB cable is like having upgraded one of the most important audio components. I already have the Sablon LAN cable connecting the Uptone EtherREGEN to Sonore UltraRendu. Together with the Sablon 2020 USB cable it creates a system synergy that lift the overall musical presentation to new heights!
My "old" USB cable is now up for sale.
