SPDIF Digital Cable Recommendations
I am looking for a SPDIF cable to run between a Music server and DAC. Do you really need a high-end cable in this case? Currently, I am running a $34 SPDIC cable and the music is actually better than running a higher-end USB cable. BTW, the DAC is a Lampizator Pacific and the Media Server is from Lucas Audio LDMS. I definitely like the sound of SPDIF vs USB.
@willgolf - For what it may be worth as I have not heard the Wywiresw Diamond digital cable directly , but at the Cap Audio Fest in one room it was used between the Pacific and a Taiko Extreme server.
The Diamond was also used in another room with the Baltic. I have no affiliation with Wywires. Just wanted to give you something to maybe look into

I have an Apogee Wyde Eye SPDIF — it’s an excellent cable that pulls off the difficult balance of being detailed yet still musical. I much prefer it to my highly-regarded Stereovox (now Black Cat) XV2. My advice — pick one of these up for 60 bucks and use it as a benchmark for more expensive cables, but in the meantime I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy improvements over what you have now. My $0.02 FWIW, and best of luck. |
@soix , Thanks for the heads up. |
@nonoise I think the D60 was also originally designed by Chris Sommovigo of Black Cat/Stereovox and my XV2 was a later iteration of that design. Could be wrong though. |
