Cardas Clear Digital SPDIF


Hi

Any experience with the Cardas Clear Digital SPDIF?

How does it compare with Aural Symphonics Echelon Digital?

Thanks

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. 

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!

I agree Geist’s custom terminated Apogee is a good deal. I’ve had various lengths over the years and still use the BNC version today on my Naim NDX and Bryston BDP streamers. It’s nice that someone is still making them today, however the Cardas Parsec Digital is also reasonably priced and it tastes delicious. Now I’m curious about the Clear AES/EBU.
