What’s at the heart of your high-end system? Increasingly it’s a DAC, with a CD transport, streamer or dedicated audiophile hard drive, computer, portable device etc. YouTube is full of amazing concerts and while sound quality is never going to be perfect, it’s always going to sound better through the hi-fi than a laptop. So if that’s your system, we could do this: We could take out the cable between the transport – or the streamer – and DAC and replace it with the ChordMusic Digital and we could tell you we’d put a better DAC into the system and keep quiet about the cable swap. Then you could sit down, listen to some of your favourite tracks and rave about how amazing the new DAC is , about the levels of detail it’s added, the size of the soundstage, the amazing coherence and the way that every track you played sounded so real and alive – better than you’ve ever heard them. Then we could tell you we didn’t change the DAC what we actually changed was the cable, and all that wonderful stuff you’d heard was what the ChordMusic Digital was carrying and your existing cable wasn’t.
