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.

@soix sorry for the delayed response; I escaped Michigan snow for Florida sand for a couple of weeks. I like it but of course I don't have any experience hearing other cables so I can't say if it's great or not. Arrows?

Yeah, there are arrows on the cable.  They’re pretty faint but SUPREMELY important.  I installed mine backwards once by error, and my entire system sounded absolutely broken. Once I found the problem and re-installed the Wyde Eye in the right direction, all was well again.  Point is, directionality with this cable is key.  Go in the direction of the arrows from the digital source to the DAC or you’ll be greatly disappointed. 

@soix you know, I.ve had this cable a couple of months now and though I was aware of directional cables I was looking at the terminal ends of the Apogee for that info and didn't see any. I just figured that mfg didn't buy into it so it didn't matter. After your post I looked this morning and found I've had it backward all along. I made the switch but haven't had a chance to listen to the difference. Thanks!!!

Q&A from the Geistnote/Apogee Amazon page.

Question:

Going from a streamer to an integrated amp, do you make the arrows point to the streamer or to the amp? 

Answer:

The cable is not directional, however, if you would like to follow the arrows, find the source of the signal and put the source connector on the left side of the arrow and the destination connector on the right side of the arrow.  
"Source of signal" > "Destination of signal"
