This might be a stupid question,,but


I recently upgraded from a DVD player to a transport,DIP,DAC combo,which sounds better,but i am using analog ICs,will going to good digital cables improve the sound?

I thought 1.5 meters was the "maximum" recommended length for digital cables.
im using analog ICs for the digital connection,i will probably buy some dig. cables in the next couple weeks,im thinking of trying Stereovox HDXV as i have a pair of HDSE that work very well between my amp and preamp.So the main difference is analog ICs are 50 Ohm and digital 75 Ohms !Thanks guys!
Ther are some inexpensive cables from Have and Blue Jeans that are surprisingly good for this purpose.
The digital connection should be a single coaxial connection, not a pair. You keep mentioning IC's, as in plural and that may be what is confusing folks. Yep a 75ohm digital cable is the ticket. In going from the signal output of your DAC you do want standard Analog IC's (plural, as in a pair of them) to go to your preamp or integrated amp, and not digital IC's.

Marco,sorry for the confusion,as i stated in my question,im using a transport to a Dip to the DAC to preamp, so i have the need for 2 dig cables ,guess i could have worded it better!
