Rich, yes!

We designed the Pi-DAC+ to offer great performance at an entry level price. This is only made possible by the latest generation DAC's using integrated line drivers at the output. To keep costs and component count low, the Pi-DAC+ utilises this feature and uses a simple passive filter at the output to remove high frequency noise generated in the conversion process. This CAN make the Pi-DAC+ more sensitive to the interconnecting cables, namely the cable length and quality. The loading effect of the device which the Pi-DAC+ is plugged into can also affect performance.

Simply, we recommend keeping the cable lengths as short as possible, and use the highest quality cables you can afford.

Back to tinkering - time to find the best cables for your system / ears = more time listening and enjoying music.

Here we use a range of cables but I still like my home made (25yrs old) van der hul interconnects.
