What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000?

@cleeds

Ones going against data should offer up the proof. Can you find any studies that show a $30 digital cable and a $3000 digital cable have tonal differences? I’m unfortunately not well off enough to be able to spend $4K on a digital cable. Again, I grant that better made digital cables have better noise rejection, but a digital cable is impossible in increasing stereo separation, tonal balance, etc.

A digital cable sends 1’s and 0’s, so as long as any noise picked up is below audibility, all will sound the same.

And as I said, since sighted hearing is subjective, by all means buy a better cable if it sounds better to you, just don’t go out blindly recommending it to others, as you hearing a difference does not mean one exist, beck even if one does, one can have negative bias and hear them as similar.

In terms of factual performance, getting a $4K BNC cable is just as silly as buying an external word clock for a DAC that reclocks internally anyway.

So digital cables, like all cables are system dependent so take this with a grain of salt. The best digital cable to my ears in my system was the Jorma Design digital cable. I believe retail is in the $12-1500 range, I picked mine up used. A really organic relaxed transparent sound. Whatever you choose good luck and I hope it suits your system!

You guys crack me up.

Instead of grasping the context of the statement you just want to dissect the wording of the statement and deduce it is trolling, retarded or insulting.

Priceless!

Granted a better analogy could have been employed. I guess it could be construed as insulting but only if you truly cannot tell any difference between cheaper and expensive cables.

But in that case I would not feel insulted , rather saddened tbh.

Nordost old stock silver , under $250 ish
insanely good, perhaps a bit forward and HiFi at least vs my reference AQ Eagle Eye

i would ignore posters who can’t afford a particular price range cable and yet somehow seem to set “ truth “ somewhere below that number.....

@tomic601

One can easily say to ignore people who claim that one data cable sounds more toward sounding and Hi-Fi like than another data cable.

Binary is binary, as long as noise isn’t picked up, that’s transmission is identical.

It’s like saying the Mona Lisa would invoke different emotion if Da Vinci used paint that was 100x more expensive, despite being the same color, viscosity, etc. there are things that a data cable can alter, but making the music more toward sounding isn’t one of them, at least in actuality and not what you personally hear.

I implore you to come up with one reason how a data cable can do such a thing.

For any data cable of reasonable length, I have not seen any measurements where noise/jitter/frequency response/etc. is anything less than identical within -110dBFS.
