Tangram,
Once again an excellent explanation on your chosen plating types, as I've several sets of copper plugs, yet am awaiting another rhodium plated copper ac male, as well as a silver plated Viborg ac male to use with the singles of both matching iec female plugs I've stored for said purposes.
It seems I'm still reluctant to use gold plated plugs with the exception being on the speaker cable end towards the speaker themselves | where I use rhodium plated ones on the amp side of things.
Yet with your testing, it does offer me other options to chew on, and I know things will come together nicely before it's all said and done.
Thanks for just being.
Follow Ups:
The 1 metre xangsane 9003ag just finished, complete with a soft outer sheathing. Now for a few hours of burn in, and then a week of digital playback !
Hello. What connectors did you use for the 9003 XLRs?
Thanks.
Wonderful job..., Viborg plugs at that.

So What's the final verdict What do you recommend for IC PC and SC
Least I forget..., the sole power cord of choice used on any of the DACs I've owned, remains a Jena Labs Crimson Red RX Silver Plated Copper | Braided from 5 stands of Japanese annealed said wiring harness ( $250 | 1.5m ) with a set of IeGO 8095 ( set | $295 ) pure silver - rhodium plated plugs.
Where it brings about a more realistic presentation as if a real flesh and blood vocalist is standing before me | not saying cords before it were bad, just this cord makes any given vocalist once again sound more " here, here " than " there, there " is you give my drift?.
Once again, in the end it's always finding a way to have one's reproduction of music rendered in a manner in which collectively the components sound | feel right.

coolkiko,
After years and years trying to just come across a very responsive | as neutrally balanced tandem of cables | cords, having excepted offers from friends abroad | through the Cable Company..., said tandem which has seriously caused me to end my own personal quest are as follows:
Xangsane SP-9003Ag ( Sterling Silver IC's ) | Grey Knight GK-6008Ag ( Silver Plated PC ) primarily used on either of my integrated amps of which are being rotated in and out of the system at any given time " period " | Accuphase 40th Anniversary Edition ( Pure Copper ) placed onto my Aurender Music Server ( where the power plug blades are a tandem of Monosaudio M109R Rhodium Plated Copper AC Male | Viborg VF513 Red Copper IEC Female, both of which are also being used on the above Grey Knight PC | Speaker Cables ( of which I've ended up with 7 pairs ) yet my 3 favorites to date are the Kudos Audio KS-1 ( Silver Plated Copper | 12' | $407, yet my second pair was basically free ) | Pearl Acoustics Sibelius ( Pure Copper | 3.8m | $507 shipped from Belgium ) | Clear Day Cables Shotgun ( Pure Silver | 15' | $350 ) each offers enough differences to focus my attention on the recordings themselves in a manner, of which I've found just brings about a sense of engagement I never noticed earlier on.
As for the other cables which I feel ideally are meant to be paired with the above, are the Xangsane XS-006 USB Cable ( Sterling Silver | 1.5M | $105 ) this once again after having owned cables like the Audience AU24 Pure Copper ( 1.5M | $945 ) | In-Akustik Referenze Pure Copper ( 1.5M | $550 from Germany ) * " this was the most actually detailed pure copper cable I've ever heard " | Neutral Cable Reference " i " Pure Silver ( 1.5m | $770 from Italy ) | Jena Labs Stream Dancer 2 Pure Copper ( 1.5m | 650 ) | Curious Cable Original Pure Silver ( 1.5m | 450 ) | Evolved Pure Silver ( 1.5m | $550 both from Australia )..., yet said Xangsane was recommended to me on behalf by an fellow member here " Dantheman ", which I immediately knew within placing it into my system 2 minutes later bettered said others ones ( costlier to boot ) to the point, I've chosen to life with it for whatever period of time I've left on the planet?.
And lastly, said other pairs of SCs are ones built from bulk wiring from brands like, In-Akustik " Germany " | Gotham Audio Cables " Switzerland " | Sommer Cable " Germany " | NEARdost Valhalla 2 " China " none of which have made it into the system yet.
As I now hear it | understand more importantly the vital meaning of synergy even more these days, let's just say once any given person, knows without a doubt their system is locked or dialed in, I often refer to it as " it's clicking ", it's time to sit back and know that to better what one often has right before them, in many many cases cost thousands to better, that's why as I try my best to listen to each component individually, only then studying its sound, and learning what type of signature is required by the other components which are meant to play correctly beside or behind said piece.
In a perfect world, if many given brands were so great sounding, other than one looking to upgrade further up the range, the tell tale sign for me at least, is when I see so many offered for sake on HiFi Shark, I mean whom in the right might enjoys buying what's meant to be the next best thing, only to see it listed as for sale within 2-5 weeks after having purchased it, or said piece?, logically either one doesn't understand synergy?, or loves buying blinding, without knowing how to match said piece with likeminded components?, which means either rethinking shit, and going laterally, or admitting to oneself they fucked up, and find themselves going full circle.
I'm Canadian born, and know we're viewed as a friendly natured culture, yet there are times where cussing just feels right, so forgive me that.
thanks for the much needed info
You're more than welcome.
