DFPC Series [Signature]

Date Added: 03/24/2015 by MDC
First and foremost, I wanted to inform you that the recent upgrade from 3 Originals to 3 Signatures is bringing very, very, very nice results!

The difference between the two models within the LessLoss range is almost as high and obvious as the original upgrade from my Audioplan power cables to LessLoss DFPC Original cables.
The improvement is general and on the entire spectre of the music; there is no range that receives a ‘better treatment', the improvement is clear and audible, strong and subtle at the same time.

My system:

-Ayon cd1sc
-Oyaide AR-910 XLR
-Ayon Spirit III
-Sonus Faber Venere 2.5

All LessLoss power cables connected to and from Oyaide MTS-4e

DFPC Series [Signature]

Date Added: 03/31/2015 by mdc
The 3 'Signature' that have replaced 3 'Original' are blooming nicely. Still. I don't really know if it has to do with my system or the amount of time the cables actually need to burn in.
The level of bass, quality of treble and detail is astonishing.
I am on holiday since about a week and listen to music all day long and the sound is almost improving on a daily base now.

I had a few friends/colleagues over last weekend and we tested very expensive (and I mean very expensive) Nordost cables on my system.
The LessLoss were definitely better. To such an extend that the owner of the Nordost loop is most probably going to place an order for Signature or Reference.
What was indeed ‘strange’ was the level of improvement that the 'Signature' cables brought when compared to the Nordost.
Considering the price of the Nordost, I was, at the most, expecting your cables to level the Nordost but they were, well, better.

Very impressive.

[Update after several weeks of burn-in]

Just a few words to inform you that my 3 DFPC Signature are still improving. Quite amazing considering the level reached so far.

The improvement is obvious on cd's that regularly hit my system and, as mentioned previously, in a beautiful and 'even' way: detailed treble, wonderful middle and even more obviously, deeper but controlled bass.

If you allow me some form of amateurish analogy, it now sounds like a puzzle of which each piece is now perfectly, tightly and smoothly in place and of which even the physical separation of the pieces has disappeared in order to produce a perfectly clear and beautiful picture...

My comments start to look like some dodgy infomercial... I just hope that my genuine enthusiasm will not be perceived by some as a 'paid for' review, hence being counter productive.

But I mean every word.

DFPC Series [Signature]

I was searching for a power cord for my great Luxman 509u integrated, a dynamic, natural and really neutral (not that cold, lean, shouting and bright sound like Nordost Valhalla that many false audiophiles call "neutrality") sounding power cord which was able to put together the strengths of other power cords I have (or I had in the past), without their weak points (*):

- Furutech Powerflux: one of the best p.c.'s I have ever listened to, fast, airy and sweet, but their rhodium FI50 connectors call a bit attention to themselves with that typical brightness of ALL non-gold plated power plugs; the Oyaide 079 is absolutely my favourite.
- MIT Oracle AC1: another great power cord but I could only use it on my Accuphase DP700, because of its limited dynamics on the integrated. It has a full but a bit slow bass, detail and image are strong but a bit stressed for my taste (are copper/silver conductors and rhodium plated plugs really used in the european version?)
- Kubala-Sosna Emotion: very open, natural and smooth in the highs (gold plated plugs!), fast and dynamic, but in my previous listening room I felt it "compensated" the very strong midbass of the Emotion XLR interconnects with a bit of a lean character; however, I would like to try it again in my new room
- Cardas Golden Reference: in my previous listening room they sounded really "forward" with great emphasis on the highs (again, Furutech rhodium power plugs, the FI15) but with an overall warm sound; in my actual room it has a nice, warm and refined sound but bass stops in the mid-bass range, without going deep like my B&W 803D+Luxman 509u can go
- Acrolink 6n 4030pc: a champion in its price range but a bit muddy, confused in the bass; it was my favourite on the 509u until the DFPC Signature completed its burn in; the Oyaide O46 gold/palladium plugs work well wuth this cable, even If I prefer the 079's.
- Oyaide Tunami GPX:
- Purist Audio Design Aqueous 20th Anniversary: sweet and natural highs (in fact it has Oyaide gold plated 079 plugs!) but its overall sound is very coloured, with some emphasis on the voices.

(*) Is the DFPC Signature able do that?

Absolutely YES, and it goes further with better speed, dynamics, real neutrality, transparency and clarity, which does not mean "brightness" but, again, "REAL neutrality, transparency and clarity"!

I think I will buy other two Signatures for my Purepower 3000 AC regenerator (with the 20A Oyaide C279) feeding the whole system) and the Goldnote Dumbo AC filter (added for DP700 only; power matters!!!) and a Reference from the Dumbo AC to the DP700.

No other words are needed!

P.S. #1: Be patient during the burn in process, it sounds awful at the beginning, changing in a crazy way every day! The 30 day trial option is useless: you won't ever send a DFPC back after burn-in!!!

P.S. #2: Do take care of the line phase of your gear! If it is inverted, you have to correct it inverting the L and N contacts in the equipment IEC inlet, or ask Louis to make an "inverted" Signature you can use ONLY on such "line phase inverting" gear!

DFPC Series [Signature]

I'm extremely happy with the DFPC Signature cable. I installed DFPC on my preamp/DAC and amp. The cable transformed my system. It made the sound seamless and clear. I have good components for my system but I wasn't very happy with the performance until I got this DFPC. I didn't play many music I own because it just didn't sound good to me and I thought it was source/recording issue. I was wrong there...with DFPC, it sounds amazing no matter what format I'm playing, 192K flac, CD, MP3, Youtube and whatever! Symphony sounds amazing and clarity really contributes to separate the different instruments and in choir section you can really feel each individual's voice singing to create the experience. Also, after installing DFPC, I am playing many of the music I own about half the volume as it's super clear and I can hear really good now so no need to play loud any more. Now I realized that it's almost pointless to have high end system without power cable like this as it just doesn't provide the experience you would expect from it. I am extremely happy with my system now and I really feel the system is complete and I don't need to upgrade anything to improve the sound, maybe for the esthetic reason only ^ ^ Oh, DFPC cable is also amazing looking too!! And the last thing, I recommend adding DFPC to your preamp/DAC first, it made the bigger difference. I thought it will make more of a difference on the amp but preamp/DAC performance improved more significantly. You really need DFPC for both preamp/DAC and amp, I just thought I just need for the amp but actually preamp/DAC is more important.

Source: PC with optical out
DAC/Preamp: Mcintosh D150
Amp: Mcintosh MC452
Loudspeakers: B&W 804 D3

I purchased the DFPC Signature Power Cable for my Mytek Brooklyn Amp.

Transformative!!!

I’m running a REL 7Ti Sub with the Brooklyn Amp in a Linear fashion. The REL is like a sleeping giant that emerges once beckoned. The bass response through this setup is supple yet full and well-rounded. Thunderous.

Dialogue during theatre is very detailed and nuanced hearing every inflection.

Richard Wagner has entered my listening room!

The noise floor has dropped substantially.

The physical handling of the cable is effortless. Very easy to manage in a confined space.

DFPC Series [Original] [Signature]

I first replaced the AnsuzsX power cord (600 Euro) with the DFPC Original just on Lindemann Musicbook 15 and every aspect of sound instantly became better. Missing frequencies of sound powered by the Ansuz become alive at once. That was just one thing, everything else sounded more natural, balanced and organic (without a single exception). Immediately after that I purchased a DFPC Signature which arrived in just 3 days....while I was waiting for Signature to arrive I could comfirm that the DFPC Original sounded better than the full range of any WireWorld power cables, significantly better (some of them are even 3 times the price). Then I had a chance to compare it with an Ansuz P. There was no point at all, the DFPC Original was significantly superior to that one, too.

When the DFPC Signature arrived all these differences became even more obvious, the Signature sounds like a dream compared to the WireWorld Platinum Electra 7 (around 1600 Euro). The difference was very great in favor of the Signature in terms of resolution and naturalness, and the image space was both deeper and wider...amazing!

I have tried the Signature in my friends' systems and it improved all of them by miles (except one where the DFPC Original was for some reason a better fit).
