I still have MIT digital reference I bought used here, and
as you know it is very good 3D and smooth treble. The MIT treble is less pronounced by design and therefore sounds
smooth/relaxed. This maybe exactly what certain systems need
Compared to MIT, AZ Mc2 is noticeably more transparant/detailed revealing more info from CD, it has huge soundstage also, and more extended treble response. The good news is it does this without adding treble grain/hardness or leaning out the sound, very natural sounding.
The AZ Silver Photon has about 90% the performance of Mc2 for $100, it was better than my HT Cyber Platinum which I have since sold. This has to be the best value/performance
ratio of any digital cable out there. Mc2 however is superior in all respects and at $300 is still decent value,
as it competes with the megabuck cables.
