I have used Van Den Hul Jubilee, Morrow Ma4, Wywires and Crimson Music Links at present. These XLR's all worked with my Sony SCD-XA5400ES. The Crimson's are what I presently use and they easily beat the others. They were a revelation, especially for the price! Do yourself a favor and try these cables in your system...Austin HIFI offers free in-house trial.
