Best digital interconnect

Looking for a digital cable interconnect upgrade, and wondering which one(s) are the top of the line. I am currently running a Virtual Dynamics Master, which is pretty good, but what would be a serious upgrade, without selling the farm!!?

Another suggestion would be the Synergistic Research D-3 digital IC. It easily trounced a very good Esoteric digital IC in my system costing more than twice as much, which in turn had sounded better than VD Rev.

The D-3 is probably 1 of the last true real "bargains" in high-end audio today. It is definitely worth auditioning - you will probably be as amazed as I was.... It is still in my system and is absolutely worth a try. A good SR dealer will let you do this for no charge, which pretty much makes this a no-brainer. All systems are different, but this IC is really something special, especially at its price point!
I have heard nothing better in my system under $5K

CORRECTION: The Tara Labs Digital Cable that I demoed was "The Zero" not "The One."

I have tried many digicables, including the Kharma Grand Ref (very good, still use with my Wadia i70 Transport)and Nordost Valhalla (also very good), but have had the Stealth Sextet running from my modded CEC TL-1X to Dodson 218 DAC for the last 3 years and never even think of trying anything else. It just does nothing wrong and everything right.

For value, PNF Audio beats 'em all! If you spend more, most of the time you'll just get bling...!

Thanks for all the great feedback suggestions folks. I currently have on order, and am expecting their arrival in the next week or two........the Virtual Dynamics Genesis and Stealth Sextet. I will compare the two and keep the best one for my system. Perhaps periodically it will be fun to keep comparing. I'll post my results here!
