I figure it is time to start my first post and this one is to review both cables and their differences. I know there are people interested in getting Firebird but wonder if it is worthwhile to jump to the top-level Dragon. I am here to post the first impression I got from Dragon 48 HDMI as a Firebir…

Do you now have to the kill all of us? (Thanks for the direct informative reply.)

Thank you for getting it out there, I think it’s a good thing to share! I should get my Dragon HC PC in a week or two; hopefully before Christmas!

I’m so tickled you are digging that tube amp. I’m really digging my new one. . … but it’s like the ninth that I have owned. Edit to add: I did a more accurate count–I’ve owned twelve.

The Solid State Amp already had excellent cables. I unplugged it and used the same cables. Everything broken in.

You took me serious. you silly.

I haven’t replaced mine. I use it with my computer desk system. Stealth USB to Matrix and Dragon 48 to DSD Jr. I am not looking to change any of that but I did replace my solid state amp with a tube amp. No new cables needed for that switch.
