Beautiful setup. Did you get a separate power cord for the Ambre/Pavane? I’m trying to decide if I need to do that or not.
I am not the type of guy that invest a lot of money in powercords…
. I simply don’t believe in the stories told about powercords. I also can’t the hear the difference…. I use the SHUNYATA RESEARCH Venom 3, they are available for a reasonable amount of money.

ha! well too me, spending 100 for a power cord is a lot of money. I just wanted to know if you replaced the stock one given and it appears you do. Thanks!

Keces DA 131. New was around $650 with the upgraded power cable. Can find on eBay in the 350-400 range every once in a while. Smooth as butter.
A modern classic. Sad to see it go out of production.
Yes I saw that . Equally sad
(for me): I had a HA-2 - the portable - and it was stolen. That broke my heart. It was the most versatile piece of audio equipment I owned at one point. I have a godson, however, who has one and he is not really using it, so I offered to trade him something that he might use and he says he will do it. I just have to figure out what he needs. He’s not using it at all now but he does use a stand-alone DAC for his home AV system. I thought maybe the Mayflower O2/ODAC would work for him, which, when the HA-2 was still available would have been a comparable trade. Nowadays the HA-2 is very dear and it’s hard to find one (you can have one fo $499 in Australia - presumably that’s Aussie dollars.) I told him all this and he is still okay with the idea. So I figure I’ll probably do it.

Forgot to mention I never used my HA-1’s internal DAC - I only used it as Pre and Headphone Amp and it was stellar. But from all the great reviews over the years, the DAC section was nice too.
Good luck with the DAC swap.
I love that it has a spectrum analyzer on it. Such a great look for a DAC.
