Hi,
I was hoping someone could recommend a 75 ohm Coaxial digital cable for me. Currently using a Nordost entry level purple flare? coax cable. My system is a PS Audio PST transport to a DIY PCM1702 based DAC. Only has a coax input. I wont be able to afford a new DAC (PS Audio Direct stream II or Holo May) to
go I2S/HDMI anytime soon. I'm pretty happy with the digital front end as the PST transformed it. I've probably have 2000 CD's and stopped playing them for awhile when I got my SOTA COSMOS. I also probably 2000 or so lp's and only 60 or so SACD's (that I can play on my Oppo 205 if wanted)...so a new DAC or SACD's are
pretty low on the priority list. Honestly my jaw drops every time I play a lp (Sota Cosmos>>Graham 2.2>> Micro Benz Ruby Z>>Nordost Tyr phono cable>>Pass Labs XONO)
I don't think that I've ever had this issue at all before but my system may tend toward the bright side of life.... but never ever bothered me playing lps or cds.
The rest of my system is a DIY Nelson Pass "Bride of Zen" preamp, Pass Labs Amp, Dynaudio Special 25 speakers. Interconnects and speaker cables are all Analysis Plus Silver Apex. I'm currently listening(trying to figure out if I want the Tyr) to nothing but cd's as I replaced the cheap coax with a Nordost Tyr 2 coax cable between my DAC and PST transport. I love the combo now on alot of cd's as the top end is really great but I find it slightly harsh or too analytical on some cds. Others its just beautiful.
I was hoping that someone could recommend a similar coax cable to the Tyr 2 that would be gorgeous on the top end, detail, and sound stage but would be less grating (on some recordings) for the lack of a better word.
Thanks
Tom
