Whats a good all around digital cable for under $250. I only need half a meter.

Didn't care for the MC2. Tried plenty of digital cables. Turns out I think Straightwire is gem of a digital cable. 

Mapman,I am using Audioquest.

"The WyWires Silver does not have any silver - all copper. WyWires doesn't use any silver wire in any of their cables and if you visit their site you will find out they deslike silver wire as a conductor. They only use the word Silver as a model name."

That's odd, not too bright, since they dislike silver (the metal), but the cable's model name would likely make most people think the cables use silver in their construction.

You know that, especially online, people often scan text more than they read details.

Dave, who thinks this is like a turntable manufacturer calling their device the "Binary Digital" because it has an on-off switch 

Zeal if the sound is not what it should be how do you know the issue is the wire and not elsewhere?


Imask becausevaudioquest makes good quality products and I have not heard big differences with various digital wires compared to dacs and other components in the chain. 

I don’t think WyWires Gold or Platinum cables contain those metals as well. I own many silver Clear Day Cables; their speaker wire, single and balanced cables and they are not bright... revealing but not bright. My dad owns Kimber KCAG, AQ Lapis, Diamonds and whatever speaker cable that was under the Dragon back then and none of them are bright either. I can’t speak for all silver cables but the ones I know well are not bright.

I think most people just assume silver cables are bright and probably have never heard them personally or maybe they have and their system or room is just bright anyway. Many of the silver clad cables can be bright and I’ve always felt those cables have "Smeared" the subject. I do agree that WyWires probably should have given more thought to their cable names, but nonetheless they make great cables.
