Best affordable digital coax cable for connecting transport to re-clocker?


My Empirical Synchro-mesh is due to arrive today. I bought the Empirical cable to connect the re-clocker to my Aqua La Voce DAC but am wondering about what to use to connect the transport to the S. Mesh. I'd like to spend less than $400. Blue Jeans 1694A has been recommended. How might this compare with, say, Audioquest Carbon ?

If you have a left-over cable from a transport or HT, even a Toslink, use this.  Totally non-critical.  Save your money.

You don’t need a special cable to the Synchromesh as it has a totally robust jitter rejection design. Same as the Benchmark series of DACs that reject all incoming jitter - no need for a special cable.

Special cables are only needed for devices that do NOT robustly reject incoming jitter. My advice is to avoid devices that do not thoroughly reject incoming jitter but everyone has their favorite DAC, even if most are jitterbugs.
Not meaning to be rhetorical, but I’m of the opinion that no DAC *rejects* jitter. Instead it boils down to how well the DAC deals with it once accepted. Oh and I too use Blue Jeans (Belden) 1694A.
