What's the best AES Digital Balanced cable you eve

Stealth Sextetis best I have heard. Nordost Valhalla dn Kharma Grand Ref close runners up. Plenty of raves on this site for Stealth. Not cheap, but then again, neither is your Berkeley USB. I would not stint.

See my two posts in this thread, the bottom line being that I would be cautious in extrapolating from the experiences of others, unless the components being connected were the same as yours. The effects of a digital cable are highly dependent on the technical characteristics of what the cable is connecting, in ways that do not have a great deal of predictability.

That is one reason why XXqq250's suggestion no. 1 is an excellent one.

I agree with Al, (as usual). I can say that I have tried at least 20 different AES/EBU cables in my system. While the Mogami is excellent for the money, I found the Grover Huffman to be the best.

None of the cables I tried were ultra expensive, (up to about $500 or so). The Grover sells for around $120 and is fantastic.

Of course, this was in "MY" system and for "MY" tastes. YMMV...

I have tried a lot of digital cables including the Mogami Gold. Nothing came close to the SR Tesla LE D3. This is system dependent, of course. Although I have not tried their digital cable, I think ASI and HiDiamond would also be worth trying.

I'm not sure which cable is used in the Mogami Gold.
You can make your own cable at whatever length you prefer from Mogami 2552 and Neutrik XLRs. The 2552 is specific as a digital cable and is 110 ohms (important). This is cheap enough to use as a standard to compare others. I also use Mogami Neglex 2534 (300 ohms) as a balanced interconnect.
