I would normally take dCS’ word on that, but they also claim all clock cables from an external clock to the DAC sound the same when they very clearly do not.
We do know that dCS sent sample ACTUS cables to third parties according to their postings around the introduction of Varese a couple of years ago. However, so far, none has taken this up . I presume that they are aware aware of the opportunity.
They would need to compensate financially for the fact that Varese with ACTUS requires fewer cables than predecessors such as Vivaldi 
BTW, I just noticed that your profile may need updating with the arrival of those big boxes.
Thanks for the reminder! Fixed 
Where did you see that Bill?

I guess my imagination wasn’t that far fetched after all 
(albeit doesn’t appear to be Opus branded).
It’ll be interesting to see what kind of MSRP they put on this.

I was actually thinking the exact same thing Anup because Transparent makes what must be a low sales volume version of the Boulder power amp cable, even though Boulder’s user manual specifically directs the user to use the one provided. Boulder: “Do not substitute another power cable.”
I have been seriously considering selling my small Transparent loom out of principle. IMHO, the language in their marketing is unbearable.
Do you mean the Blue IEC 60309 connector/cable? Interesting. I never knew they made those.
During my time with the 1050 mono blocs and later the 2060 stereo Amp, I just used the Boulder supplied cables. Albeit, every couple of months I used to spend “hours” polishing those brass pins till they shone like gold
