Plugged in an early version of HDPLEX 100 (160W?) which I had in storage to the 210.

At first it was a bit sluggish like slowly waking up. The PSU is literally cold to the touch so the 210 with wifi disabled is very efficient.

After a while though the soundstage was slowly expanding and perhaps a bit wider. Now what is different from the elite is that elite is like an elite gymnast doing everything ”perfect” but the hdplex has a richer tone that I enjoy. It’s not as exact or have super-low noisefloor like the elite. You might say the hdplex 100 sounds abit busy in comparison.

So my solution is to order the Farad Super3 fully specced out with silver dc2 cable. Hopefully this will be the holy grail, SNR of the elite plus a richer tone of the hdplex. 😊
