On the tails of the flagship JundoStream cable (earlier reviewed), Reiki has introduced a less expensive Ethernet cable, the KinuStream. It has all the attributes of its big brother…dead quiet and less of that digital edge…just a tad less so.
Many here have not adopted that digital cables can make a difference or that they provide less improvement than their analog cable counterparts. I get that. I too hear more differences, or should I say, characteristics, among analog cable manufacturers.
By design and compliance, Ethernet cables are similar in design but are susceptible to noise in the environment. Reduce or eliminate the noise and a blacker background appears, letting you hear deeper into the music.
So, things are not different, per se, but better, with a good Ethernet cable. For those of you that have a Muon Pro and know its value, a cable like the KinuStream gives you that type of bump in resolution.
One word of caution. I experienced as much benefit putting the Reiki cables in front of the Reiki switch as in front of the DAC. I thought I could get by with a “lesser” cable on the front end, the Stealth. Didn’t work as well. No shortcuts in audio, duh.
Way out of my wheelhouse. Enjoy!
Really? Many of us here (and I thought you to be one of the like-minded) have found that an approximate $2k minimum investment is needed per cable and cord for our significantly costlier gear to shine.
My general point is Ethernet cables have improved alongside better streaming and streamers and you can hear the difference in the good ones, but few cable manufacturers are making the investments in the area.
Yes, but from what I saw this was in the range of $3K+ Euro, making it way more in dollars than the sort of camp I usually live in. Granted, I have spent more infrequently in the cable/cord category, but I try not to make a habit of it. 
There are few dealers selling Reiki Audio stuff here, and it seems Stack feet are not included either.
Stack feet are available as an option on their newer stuff, the SuperSwitchX and ProX PSU. Both cases have integral threads to accept them.
Nice to see you may have some interest in upping your streaming game. I can’t wait for Maestro to become Apple compliant and have an IPhone/Pad interface. What you and others have said about it’s sonics should make streaming an even more serious format.
With PMG SACD and 512, playing SACD has a bit advantage over streaming after 5000 hours of break-in, so my head started wondering again. However, a nice afternoon of great music (all from streaming too) and wine has eased my mind, and also knowing AI will not wipeout the entire planet from nuclear bombs eased me more. So, my head is clearer and I am happy of what I got this morning.
But Reiki X switch and PSU look interesting, and it is about the same price of one Stealth PC 
I will keep this in my potential upgrade when I get really bored.
