I use Mogami 2964 / Canare RCA coaxial from enoaudio bought at Amazon for ~$40. Running between Node2i and RME ADI-2 DAC. I have run RME bit test between these components on both the coaxial and another Toslink and the transmission is 100% correct. Even if you spent $40,000 on a super-exotic cable you wouldn't beat the 100% correctness result. Which tells me I could have gotten an even cheaper cable on B&H (Hosa?)

I just found 2 digital aes/ebu sets i used back in 2002. One brand i don't remember, the other one is signal cable. I also found 2 custom made Krell cast cables. Perhaps i should try and see how these two digital cables work first. If i don't hear much difference, i probably should skip my urge for better (more expensive) ditos. However, i am curious of Inakustiks 2404 https://www.in-akustik.de/en/cables-and-accessories/reference-selection/digital-cable/reference-digi... I contacted the reseller of the Nuprime combo, he actually suggested to move up from CDT-8 Pro to CDT 10 instead of more "exotic cables". Btw, how does Nordost Heimdall 2 sound? Are they thin in lower mid and bass? I remember the older Nordost were good match for bass heavy systems |
This is weird that i say now. I had Audioquest Raven aes/ebu. I feel that my Supra IS2 cable sound better, so i sold the Raven. But i ain't to keen on skipping aes/ebu anyway since i don't use DSD needed upsample bandwidth. I like the lower settings if i can generalize!? That means that even 354kHz often sound unnatural.So the DSD upsampling rate is not for me. As i have understood, right or wrong, this is when the high bandwidth of IS2 is better? Anyway, i have just ordered a Cardas Clear aes/ebu. I really hope it is way better than what i have now. I still don't know if i can come further with this system. Maybe i would need more resolving speakers than Micromain27!? Worst issues that i experience is still bass peaks. I dropped about 50% of my absorbers and got two Svanå V-6 bas absorbers set at 40-45Hz. But to be honest, i could use two more + a set of V-4 for 70-75Hz. |
