We crossed the 325 hour mark today and I think we are just about there. For footers right now I am using Symposium Rollerblock Jr.s, but also have on hand IsoAcoustics Pucks and Oreas as well as Tenderfeet, EVP and several others so I will just try them all out and settle on the best one. Same with cables as I have AES/EBU cables from Audio Sensibility, Wireworld and Audio Envy and USB cables from Audio Sensibility, Wireworld, Supra, Straightwire and my current favorite an OCC copper cable from Oyaide. With the S2 I preferred the AES connection but now I think I agree with David Abrahams of Stereo Times and the USB may have the upper hand. In the end David preferred his upgraded La Voce to the DS Jr. and time will tell which I prefer in the end the S3 or the Directstream Sr. Both are great DACs and with the current configurations more similar than different which was not the case before the upgrade.
