Advise on R2R DAC

[jigarpatel]

Useful information, thank you.

My current RCA cables are Mogami neglex 2497 which was suggested to me for a warmer sound. I might looks at a neutral/bright cable now. Any budget suggestions please?
Also, I am planning to bring the Anode Acoustics tube pre. Will try out different combinations with DS DACs and the Metrum Octave, hopefully over the weekend.

I have upgraded from Mogami 2549 to Oyaide Neo D+ Class A RCA Cable.
If someone carry for you from Japan, it will cost less then 5k.
I am using it between Areas 2 and Naim Nait 5si.

Oyaide Neo d+ RCA class A

I am using Mogami Gold RCA interconnects and AudioQuest Rocket 22 speaker cables with the Kinki Studio. Tried the Mogami 2477 speaker cables but the resultant sound was mushy and dynamically subdued vis-a-vis the AudioQuest Rocket 22 which sounds big, bold and expansive in comparison. I also use other Mogami speaker cables such as the 2972 but they’ll probably not be my top pick moving forward.

No need to change RCA cables. Use a thinner guage speaker cable. Thinner guage speaker cable will handle higher frequencies better. For ex -- if your current speaker cable is 12 Awg, use a 14 Awg speaker cable for better higher frequencies.

My speaker cables are Mogami 3103, Belden 8477 and DAC SPY211, all looks like 12 awg. In 14 awg, available one is AmazonBasics cable which used to sell for 2k for a roll.

Since you already have 3 different speaker cables why waste more money on speaker cable just get an graphic Equalizer. It can be more effective in taming bad frequencies.

A physical analogue Eq OR a DSP based Eq since I use RPI 4 to cut the cost? Any advise here?

DSP based Eq will cost you more if you opt to go with DBX or Minidsp. 15 band analogue Eq or 31 band analogue Eq will cost less. With DSP based Eq you have lot many ways to tame the sound as per your liking. You can also use RTA in conjunction with Parametric Equalizer to shape up your sound and apply room correction
