Regular interconnect or digital?


I am using a regular interconnect from my streamer to the DAC.  Is there a reason to buy a digital interconnect, meaning will it sound better?

Icherepkai,  I had to compare different cables and the most revealing sounds came from a medium priced Audioquest digital coax cable 1.5 meters.  Not just a small difference and now I am re-visiting all my old favorites [again].  Fun.

Hello boxcarman - Digital cables in my experience should be at least 1.25 -1.5 meters long and cable dressing is important. Keeping the cables from touching each other is key to best performance. I used a very good cable for a while on my Naim nDAC. TheCableCompany sells The Silverstar! mk II By Black Cat Cable. Great bass and smooth high frequencies. I had to move up to the Chord Company’s Signature Super ARAY Digital Coax to out play it. Not all coaxial cables sound the same, in my experience.

 

I own both Cullen and Signal Cable digital cables - 5’ in both cases.  Both are good but in my system I prefer the Signal Cable which at $64 is a bargain.
