Set-up and installation
Contents
We connect the COS D10 V2 via XLR to a pair of Sonnet Kratos power amplifiers. We use the excellent Grimm TPR XLR cables for this. We connect the dac to our Musical Fidelity CD transport with a Grimm TPR AES/EBU cable. The Sonnet Kratos power amplifiers go to the Revels via Driade Flow Reference 405 speaker cables. We use Roon through the built-in streaming module and through a Sonnet Hermes for comparison. We always have the buffer enabled. That makes a huge difference by the way.
