Looking for a Giant Killer Digital cable



Hello all,

I’m looking for a Budget ‘Giant Killer’ RCA coaxial cable to connect my Oppo 203 to a DAC for music playback.

Can someone suggest something currently available in the $50 to $150 price range?

If however your experience says some new Optical cable in that range is as good or better, please, by all means do mention it as I could go either way of course!

A 1M to 1.5M will be sufficient.

Huge thanks!

Thanks. I have a BNC by Oyiade 1.3M I like a lot. Full and smooth while being extended and with quite sufficient bottom end.

I’ll look into what’s up with them currently. Thanks again. Good call.

I recall that name. was he behind the Streovox ultra thin steel cables? I bought one of those and it was OK. a tad edgy back then but did well with most well done recordings. It sat on my USB to BNC stick thingy. Hell, I can’t even recall what its name is. Hahaha
The Oyiade BNC wire replaced it eventually.

> $200 though, is gonna be off limits for me I think for this particular operation..


A bit more and you could have a real giant killer, the Standard BNC with RCA adapters.  $275.  Here are jitter measurements:

Sometimes Kimber D60 shows up for  used$150, type Kimber on Agon you might find one.I found a crystal digital cable from TMR audio, $99 but I doubt you find one, This cables are for Devialet gear that comes with it, I might be wrong...,Good Luck...

@folkfreak
would you mind including a link to Chris’ cable?
Thanks.

Hey steve….

Wow. Very cool. Many thanks. Especially for the link. They are always definitely tremendously appreciated.

Maybe I should rethink this budget and or wait a wee bit more to get something better. Albeit, less jitter ain’t the whole dance. Definitely interesting though.

Thanks immensely.

Things invariably change with tiome. Its good to see input on wires one doesn’t have to use a helicopter with a large electromagnet, a semi tractor trailer, and laughing gas, to pilfer an armored truck in order to afford one.

The semi, high speed drills, and gas are easy. Finding a helicopter pilot that ain’t finicky … and has skills…. now there is the trick.
