"Very pure rectangular conductors"! So, just like Transparent uses! Show me the engineering data that proves the shape of a wire conductor improves signal transmission in the audio range of 20hz - 20khz. BTW I did buy a pair of the Transparent RSC cables out of curiosity. Secondhand, not expensive.
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!

@rolox I'm not familiar with Xangsane,but will definitely check them out. I recently replaced a silver, copper,gold coax with a solid silver from Voodoo and experienced much the same result as you did.Congrats! |
@rolox OP: how much was this cable? It must have been thousands of dollars considering Jason Bourne is throwing a tantrum here.... |
@roxy54 yeah I use those interconnects too. They are the bargain of the century. Being familiar with those, I needed to give the coax cable a shot, and I'm not disappointed! @jtcf definitely check them out. Their silver wires are fabulous. @thyname it is around 130€ for 1 meter. @jasonbourne71 yawn. |
@rolox : Thanks. 130 euros is very reasonable cost for a good cable. It shows the snake oilers would always protest on cables, regardless of their price. It's a concept thing for them, nothing to do with price. They just dislike (or is it "hate"?) cables, period. |
