No, I've not heard a DDDAC, I'll keep an eye out. Thanks.
I'm playing TIDAL through the Metrum, and TIDAL's a bit bright ime - so there's probably some good synergy going on there!

Funnily enough, so have I. I had moved to an exotic, home made, concoction but I too have gone back to the Atratus 3. The biggest problem with this cable was the price - if it had been £500 to 1K people would have taken it a lot more seriously. Epiphany Acoustics must have bough a real of the stuff cheap because a friend and I did look at importing some but the cost was just prohibitive and it would have ended up being a £500 interconnect if it had the same plugs fitted.
Regarding the DNM, well I’m still surprised as I know I’m not alone in having a strongly negative view of the speaker cable. Perhaps you are using short runs and lower listening levels?

This is an older picture of my DAC - it is rather large due to a rather large choke psu and is probably bigger than most power amps.

I don’t know about our sonic priorities being all that different - they were similar enough when I recommended the Atratus to you. However, length makes a big difference with very thin cables like the DNM and 2 metres is significantly less than the 5 metres I use.

I bought this speaker cable on Jerry's recommendation and it's excellent .
2m lengths here too
