The test setup
Contents
We tested the QSA Lanedri Ultimatum Infinity on the Sonnet Pasithea. This wonderful dac also acts as a pre-amp in the system and immediately lets you hear what changes. We also briefly tried a cable on the X150.8, but there the impact is less (though audible).

Hello everyone
I’m not surprised that the braided cable sounds so good, I use braided power cables from Aliexpress myself and I’m very happy with them.
There are even braided speaker cables from MazeAudio.
Many thanks for the test, as always a pleasure. Your listening tests and lab tests are always a highlight, keep up the good work.
Many greetings from France
Frank
