SPDIF Digital Cable Recommendations

@bigkidz once told me it’d be better to use an RCA to BNC adapter and use a BNC cable rather than using an RCA connection. It’s hard to imagine why adding two conversion points would be better than running straight SPDIF, but just wanted to share the info FWIW.  Incidentally, the Apogee cable I recommended earlier is also available with BNC connectors, just FYI.

Regarding your questions....the biggest SQ improvement in my sound came from when I added the Lucas Audio LDMS.  It was a bigger change than putting 16 Western Electric 300B tubes in my Canary Grand Reference Mono amps.  The WE tubes vs Gold Lion results  were better vocals and bass with the WE's.

If you have the budget, the High Fidelity CT-2 coax starts at $1150. I find it to present music realistically with a sense of air and a smooth top-end. The next model up is $1500 which wasn't available when I made my purchase.

I’ve been very happily using the High Fidelity CT-1Ultimate digital cable (Spdif-rca connectors) for the past 6 or 7 years. It is an excellent combination of high resolution performance with a thoroughly organic presentation. Their current cables could be even better but I’m completely happy with mine.
