i2 Digital X-60, digital cable

Duh... brain fart, sorry. Need more coffee!

I have the i2. It's a good cable. But it's bested by my Synergistic Research Resolution Reference Active BNC. The Synergistic has wider soundstage, more open sound, and a bit more bass extension.

I use it on my DVD player, and it is a nice thin flexible cable (unlike the Synergisitic).

Great cable for the money, an improvement over D-60, but really not up there with the best. In my experience, this cable is surpassed by Nordost Silver Shadow (good); AZ MC2 (better); Siltech G5 (almost best); and the king of them all, Kharma Grand Reference. Nothing beats the Kharma but it is nearly impossible to find used and is very expensive new ($1900). But buy one and forget about replaciung it for a long time, if ever.

I use from Vecteur L4 CDP used as transport to Dodson 217 MKII D with 218 upgrade. Sublime!

i2Digital termination info:

http://www.i2digital.com/techinfo.html

Termination:
All S/PDIF i2Digital cables, such as the X60, include our standard IM (interseries module) connectors. If you are using RCA's, BNC's, or both, no special termination is required. Simply specify the length you need. That's it.

Nglazer: Deano, who posted above, sold his Kharma Grand Reference because the i2digital outperformed it. I remember seeing the ad here.

Perhaps your power delivery/line filtration rig is not up to speed. Perhaps.
