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!

30-day money-back, less $8 shipping on the Standard BNC cable. You are welcome to shoot it out against other cables for 30 days. Sometimes I allow a bit more if needed.

My very best is my Reference BNC for $499, but the Standard is very close. More silver in the Reference. Both are aerospace cable with expanded Teflon dielectric and double-shielded terminated to 18GHz B/W BNC connectors. Very good 75 ohm match, better than Belden cables. Connectors are a perfect match, except of course when using the RCA adapters, which will never be 75 ohms. These don’t seem to affect the SQ though. The important thing is the termination to the coax.

I have been doing cables since 1996 and I have a EE degree. Computer simulated many of my designs. Terminating a coax to BNC is much better than trying to solder to a RCA connector any type coax cable. The impedance is a perfect match with BNCs. BNCs are specifically made for each cable type, either 50 or 75 ohms char. impedance. There are hundreds of BNC connector types as a result.

@audioengr , can you provide a link to the Standard BNC cable? I only see the Reference on your website.
Apogee Wyde Eye is a solid performer that you can get new for $40 for 1m or $50 for 1.5m.  Should hold you over just fine until you can afford to step up.  I prefer it to my Streovox XV2 as I find it to be more naturally balanced with better tonality.  Best of luck
