Recommendation for Digital Coax


Looking for a good digital coax to go from my Bluesound Node 2i to my first stand alone DAC, an Aqua La Voce S2. Preferably something that won't break the bank.

@christian Yes, it is.  Not sure why you’re asking, but Apogee is a pro audio company so their stuff is built to take some punishment, FWIW. 

Why not optical?  A good toslink pof is a good toslink pof, and no need to consider 100th of coaxial brands and models.

Optical is the most accurate, efficient way to transfer data from point a to point b, undisturbed.

@chrisr  From everything I've been reading it has it's own drawbacks. Not sure why exactly but I've always been told coax. What you say makes sense especially if a much shorter length is a better fit but you are the first to mention it so.....

Maybe @auxinput can let us know?

Typically optical is of inferior quality. Generally known, I tried it a couple times and had to agree. I think it is the transducers that change from electrical to optical and back. I doubt any audio companies could make their own and probably are a commodity item not made as quality above cost.
