Re: Shunyata Research Omega QR unboxing
I haven't heard the Omega QR, but I've listened to the Omega XC as a PC for power distributors, and it's amazing in that application; reminds me of a Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo at the Nurburgring Nordschleif; that puppy can pass some serious current.
I've heard the smaller Omega QR, the QR-s, which is designed for source components, and is based off of the Alpha NR v2. For source components, it's astonishing. The QR/BB device in the QR-s really brings truly impressive immediacy, dynamic slam, 3-dimensionality, and spaciousness to the presentation. It can really transform a DAC or phonostage, etc.

Re: Shunyata Research Omega QR unboxing
I have a QR here for many months and it is fantastic...I've posted detailed comments on another thread.
Also have broken in and am doing detailed listening comparisons (against Sigma v2 AES and Clock-50) on the
new Omega AES/EBUs (2) and Clock-50s. After about a month breaking in and doing some extremely detailed
listening over many discs and as diligent and a job of A:B as I can I expect to be writing up my impressions of
Sigma V2 and Omega digital very soon.Legacy Audio Valor+Wavelet v2, Esoteric S-02 Amps HDPlex 300W, RevAudio Labs DC Umbilical, Esoteric Grandioso P1, P1PSU & dual D1 DACs, Cybershaft Prem Ltd OP21A 10 MHz Clock, Esoteric C-02X, Shunyata Everest 8000 & Altaira SG-NR hubs, Sigma SGC/CGC ground cables, VTX-Ag ground tails, AfterBurner8 duplexes, CSP Inc Q4B, S2B IEC plates, Shunyata Omega CLOCK-50 cables, Tubulus Concentus HDMI, Elrod Master Series Diamond SE & Masters Series Gold Power cords and Statement Gold XLRs, Diamond XLRs & Master Series Diamond XLRs, Shunyata OMEGA QR-s power cable, Anaconda Z-tron XLR, Elrod Statement Gold speaker cables, Adona Zero GX3, GX2, GX racks, Composite Audio CF-2010, Townshend Audio Podiums, HRS DPX Damping Plates, Stillpoints Ultra SS w/Ultra Bases, pArtScience 64-well, 2D QRD 3-inch SpaceArray Diffusors

Re: Shunyata Research Omega QR unboxing
Oh, I just saw the price. $3000 MSRP. That's almost half an Everest.

Re: Shunyata Research Omega QR unboxing
In what dollars? The Omega QR power cord here in USA is $8,000 (USD). Exactly the price of the Everest. However, the matching Omega PC for the Everest is the XC at $7,000 US Originally Posted by brodricj

Re: Shunyata Research Omega QR unboxing
Thyname: We were speaking of OMEGA AES/EBU and CLOCK-50 single-cable prices on the US website. They are different from the power cord prices... Originally Posted by thyname

Re: Shunyata Research Omega QR unboxing
Caelin recommended and I've been using the Omega QR-s with my dCS Vivaldi DAC for many months and it's quite impressive. However, upgrading from Sigma V2 AES/EBU to the Omega has been a big revelation. The dCS Vivaldi Upsampler really was being held back. I'd also upgraded my power cable for the Upsampler to the latest Alpha NR and it was quite an improvement. Sometimes it's difficult to guess or even judge how these things will go. No problem hearing the improvement. I did test upgrading the power cable for the dCS Clock with another Alpha NR, but found nothing between it and the Venom V14 Digital I have been using. You never know...

Re: Shunyata Research Omega QR unboxing
That’s good to know. I’d imagine a clock runs along with no need for instantaneous power to be supplied as it wouldn’t be much good if it wasn’t impervious to the demands of the music. That probably explains why there was no further benefit. Originally Posted by stevebythebay

Re: Shunyata Research Omega QR unboxing
Actually it has to do with a device’s need to be protected from AC line level noise — and the capacity of the power cable to deliver what helps the device perform optimally. Seems that in the case of the Upsampler, though it, like the Clock, operate in only a digital domain, the Upsampler benefits from a higher quality of cable design and construction. Testing a second Alpha NR with the Clock provided no sonic benefit that I could detect.

Re: Shunyata Research Omega QR unboxing
That's very mellow sound. But if You'll expect something spectacular You'll be disappointed, because everything is just like in the reality - piccolo flute is tiny, big orchestra is huge and the soundstage depends of recording. So with this cable You'll be able to hear nothing more, and nothing less than "on tape".

Which is exactly what an SOTA system should sound like -- transparent, faithful to the recording. Originally Posted by SoundRebels
