Cardas Clear Digital SPDIF

It’s a nice cable. A self effacing type of sound with no real emphasis in any frequency. Overall natural and smooth sounding with midrange sweetness but not as much midrange emphasis or warmth as the older Cardas cables.

It has a lot of detail and the layering of and space between musical notes is both impressive and engaging, as is the soundstage. The musical flow has a correctness about it.

So far, I would like more warmth or a midrange bump though vs the natural “clear” presentation it gives but will wait to see how it settles in.

I know it's been a while, but how did the Cardas Clear cable settle in? Did you keep it long term? 

Uh, I’ll submit this one at 1.5m and $60.  I dare u to put this up against pricier cables.  Musical, detailed.  If u find a better digital cable at or anywhere near the price, go for it.

What cable are you referring to?

Ah crap. Sorry. That would be useful information dammit. Here ya go, and I’ve recommended this to several other members and they’re happy with it. John Atkinson from Stereophile used is as his reference digital cable, so it has some cred beyond little ol’ me. I much prefer it to my Stereovox XV1, which is a descendant of the acclaimed D60. My take, buy it for 60 bucks and wait til something else knocks it off the shelf. In the meantime, you’re listening to a very refined and solid digital cable. One other note if you get this excellent cable — pay close attention to the directional arrows, which are faint and hard to see, as they’re not a suggestion.  I installed mine backwards once and it was a disaster until I figured out my error. I’d guess you’d need to spend $1000+ to better it. Hope this helps, and best of luck!
