Shunyata Everest + Omega XC + MPD8 + MPSX

Power Components
1

I’m currently running a shunyata everest with Omega XC to the wall outlet. I understand that one of the criticisms of Shunyata is that it often attenuates dynamics, whether that may be true or not I don’t know but I now have an MPD8 DAC and MPSX and I need power cables for those. I’ve been told and believe that power cables to DAC and Streamer have the most affect while amp is further down the line and less important(which in my case is a Feliks Envy).

Also I listen only with headphones, not a speaker guy if that helps.

I don’t want to overdo the “shunyata effect” (if such a thing exsists) and would prefer to balance the sound more by using a different brand to connect these two components to the Everest, they’ll already be getting perfectly clean power from the Everest so maybe it’s better to add some dynamics back in.

I am considering AQ, if anyone could make recommendations I would appreciate it. I also need an XLR interconnect to go from MPD8 to the Envy. For that I was considering the AQ fire, there’s some good deals on used ones.

Also if someone could recommend some cheap signal grounding cables(I’ve heard signal grounding > chasis grounding), I dont need anything fancy here that would be appreciated. I intend to ground to the Everest. I’ll need a signal ground cable for the DAC, amp and streamer.
TY

I use the Silversmith Fidelium from my Grimm MU2 to my Feliks Envy. It is a superb combination.

A strange generalization that should be rejected.

Lotsa people love the Shunyata power / Transparent interconnect combo. Might be worth thinking about.

You can demo a pair of Iconoclast gen2 UPOCC 4x4 XLR for 30 days. Some consider it superior to AQ Fire.
