Digital cable recommendations?

Hi,

The EVS Millenium DAC II units are supposedly starting to ship, and I'm somewhere on the list. THis will be my first outboard DAC. I will be using a Pioneer Elite DV05 DVD player as a transport.

Can anyone recommend a good digital coax (with RCA) cable in the $100 - $200 price range? Cardas, JPS, EVS's own cable, or any other brands?? Any info is appreciated.

Thanks,

Phil

I have a Kimber Illuminations D-60 at 1.5 meters that sounds absoulutely gorgeous. Has incredible detail and presence. Paid $205.00 on the used market. Like anything else in the audio biz synergy is everything.

hope this helps.

Try LAT International. They use an alloy of copper and silver (not silver plated copper) that combines the sonic benefits of silver with the economic benefits of copper. they are the best quality cables I have used and the least expensive as well!

Try Apogee Wide-Eye. It's available at pro/music shops. Street price for 1 meter is about $30, yet it's competitive with all but the best. This Apogee is not the old ribbon speaker maker, but instead is the major player in digital converters for the pro market.

Check out the Zu Cable Firemine. This is an excellent cable that won't break the bank. It is $60 per meter and available at www.zucable.com or on Auction here at Audiogon. There is a 30 day money back gaurantee, so compare them with some others in your system. I compaired it to a Tara Labs CD-1 and it is more detailed than that.

Good Luck
