[QUOTE="user 997, post: 1069382, member: 997"] Congratulations and enjoy, that is a nice setup and I'm sure if you thought the HD-595 was excellent then this is another level up! The Stax set you bought is sold as a system and it pretty well balanced and synergistic, I doubt a cable upgrade will give you much benefit, it is a good cable. There are some upgrade paths for the headphone or energizer, but you won't get too much mileage there for what it will cost you and should preferably be upgraded in lock step, so if you really like this, rather start saving up for upgrading your Stax system :) One point that you might want to look at is a desktop DAC. I'm not familiar with the ADL X1, and it shouldn't be a slouch, but a dedicated desktop DAC, rather than a portable DAC (which typically have some compromises), should give you another step up.
