Looking for a Giant Killer Digital cable

A variable cap and variable resistor on the input termination of the dac, and then use a scope to look..and tune a perfect edge on the input waveform.

I used to do that in hardwired video installs for custom built CRT projection systems. tuned both ends of the transmission line. cheap as all get out, best signal quality.

slightly outside of the capabilities of most but definitely doable.

other than that, it is the liquid metal cables, where the impedance is not a set aspect and dynamically adjusts to the signal and the termination in all given potential points of the line itself, in any given microsecond. Besides being capable of handling DC to MHz-GHz range signals. No other digital S/PDIF cable can come close to those specs.

It's a honey badger cable ---as honey badger doesn't care.

Although, not so inexpensive. Jim will need something extra.

@auxinput

Impressive.
Certainly appreciated. Thanks.

@in_shore > Anyway I find this cable subject interesting especially Audioengr comments and test results which got me to order his reference coax cable .

Plese. Thanks.

@lowrider57

Thoughtful.
Many Thanks.

@teo_audio
Thanks for the input.

Jim will need something else….

10 – 4!

Yep. I’m still here.

I’ve decided to get a couple wires and some BNC to RCA adapters for my Oyaide BNC cable and do a wee comparison test among the three. One of the new wires is decided. The other one is still a question mark, but the dust is settling.

Although the Oyaide BNC on site is a 1.3M (4.27ft) cable, I’ll shoot for lengths of 1.5M (4.92ft). the application in this case simply does not warrant more investment IMHO.

Stay tuned for feedback on things going forward. Hopefully this will not turn out to be a matter of preferred differences, rather than improved performance given the constraints of the associated gear at this interval. We’ll see.

I just noticed, Oddly enough, in the clip I added, from the film 'miracle mile', I recognized a voice, and it was in the aerobics room, in the clip.

It was an uncredited speaking role in a film (one line), for Marina Sirtis  (Deanna Troy from Star Trek TNG).

LowRider I never did use any other cable with the PS Audio player and PS Audio dac senior except the factory supplied I2s cable then later changing over to the WireWorld platinum starlight which btw is exceptional with video .
As you most likely know users of PS Audio components are well aware SACD playback via the I2s outputs the DSD signal with licensing agreements though some discs I have are detailed , smooth and inviting I have a pile of red-book CDs that rival sacd playback including DVD Audio and so called hi-res downloads that I listened to .
Changing dacs is a long story however currently with playback I’m getting a downsampled PCM version using the PS Audio DMP and Denafrips Dac at 88.2KHz 24 bit and with direct comparison between the two dacs the Denafrips easily surpassed the PS Audio dac for a much , much more enjoyable playback presentation , well that’s what I hear,..
Finally Im just curious to listen to a very good coax cable in direct comparison to the I2s .
