Xangsane XS-1001Ag silver coax SPDIF cable
I recently purchased a second hand Gustard X26 Pro DAC.
I was a bit disappointed with the sound from the sPDIF input; imprecise, splashy treble, not enough resolution.
I was using a Canare coaxial cable. Supposed to be "True 75Ohms and industry standard".
I decided to order this Xangsane pure silver coax cable, it arrived a couple of days ago. All I can say is WOW. Much more precision and transparency. Fabulous, wide and open image. Sometimes still a tiny bit "restrained" (?) in bass dynamics but the cable is new and pure silver + teflon is going to need some break in time.
But with this cable I’m finally able to hear what the X26 Pro is capable of!
How dare he have the audacity to use and trust his own ears rather than take your approach and just bury his head in the sand in complete denial. Give it a rest man — it’s getting way old and you’re not swaying anyone here anyway. Sheesh. |
I would like to ask the OP how does he know how "pure" this Xangsane silver cable really is? Did he get it tested at a metallurgy lab? Or did he just eyeball it? That "pure" silver wire can easily have 10% copper added and it will look exactly the same as 100% silver! US silver coinage pre-1965 used the 90/10% silver/copper ratio! |
@thyname : I have been here since 2016. Under my first moniker I had about 4K posts. Then I had to get a new phone and I had to reapply under a new name - jasonbourne52. That had 2863 posts until I needed another phone. For the third time I had to reapply - now jasonbourne71. So with around 7K posts here I know what I'm talking about! |
Not really. 100 posts or 10,000 posts, you have been saying the same thing over and over. It makes zero difference. |
jasonborn, you should actually read up on transmission cables and their effects in electronic circuits as your comment on them is grossly misguided and uninformed. I'm not saying there is an audible difference that's for your own ears to determine but cables DO mater in an electronic circuit as even wires have resistance capacitance and inductance, type of termination and how its terminated also effects the circuit. there is a reason in industry we test cables to a specific specification. reflections hi impedance etc all effect the signal transmission. weather that's audible or not in a stereo system is another argument. |
