look for a used or NOS Nordost Silver Shadow - superb cable or try Audioquest Eagle Eye w DBS
SPDIF Coax cable recommendation?
Hello,
I'm looking for a recommendation for a coax spdif digital cable.
It will be feeding a Border Patrol SE-i DAC ...either directly from an Ifi Zen Stream (for now) ...or from a Denefrips Iris DDC.
The rest of the system is warm.
Ifi Zen Stream > Denefrips Iris > Border Patrol Dac OR Denefrips Ares ii Dac > Van Alstine RB10 tube preamp > Van Alstine SET 120 power amp OR Oliver Says 2a3 SET power amp > Fritz Carbon 7 SE mkII loudspeakers
Specifically looking for a rather short cable if possible . The stream is very close to the DAC...so a somewhat flexible cable would be good.
Also, in keeping with the high value components of the system, I'm not looking for a very expensive or exotic cable.
Thank you
JS

OP, I have tried signal cable and found they are worth about what they cost, not really punching above their weight. BJC is also worth about what they cost which is fine for entry level stuff. The Pangea was an eye opener compared to my reference $1000 Virtual Dynamics Master coax. I could be happy with either one. |
This is a little above your budget but will be worth it. Read the reviews. I was using a well-respected Apogee Wyde Eye but as soon as I put this in it was night and day better in every way. Best of luck. |
