Hi Will
how is the LDMS do you like the sound?
And what difference did you find between gold lion and the WE300B you bought.
SPDIF Digital Cable Recommendations
I am looking for a SPDIF cable to run between a Music server and DAC. Do you really need a high-end cable in this case? Currently, I am running a $34 SPDIC cable and the music is actually better than running a higher-end USB cable. BTW, the DAC is a Lampizator Pacific and the Media Server is from Lucas Audio LDMS. I definitely like the sound of SPDIF vs USB.

You have a beautiful system. You should use a S/PDIF cable that equals the quality of your components. So yes, a high-end cable. Cables do make a difference, you want a bit perfect transfer from the streamer to the DAC. It doesn’t have to be high priced, a good design is most important. In addition to design and construction, proper length plays a role in the delivery of data, typically 1.5 to 2 meters. 75ohm SPDIF coax that I have used; Acoustic Zen, Oyaide, Cerious Technologies, and currently using High Fidelity Cables. There was an audible difference between each of them. The brand I see consistently being recommended is Black Cat.

@willgolf I'm currently using a Hi Diamond Reference AES/EBU which I think is excellent value, about $1k However the "nuts" seems to be the Shunyata Omega which is around $3k. Hope to try it out soon. Crystal Cable is also up there but you need to demo them at home. |
