Recommendations for a "mid-fi" digital coax cable?


I am looking for a recommendation for a digital coax cable that costs no more than about $150 to connect a Wadia iTransport to a North Star M192 DAC. Does anyone have any good suggestions? I am looking for something that is musical, detailed, but (most importantly) non-fatiguing.

Also, is there any truth to the idea that a longer digital cable (1.5m) sounds better than a shorter length digital cable?

Thanks

Audiogon member Joemazzaglia sells Auricle Audio Design digital IC which meets all your criteria plus being wonderful performer very far above the merely mid-fi level.
I use his 1.0m length in a number of systems.
Personally, have not compared the same digital IC in both 1.0m and 1.5m length as this is a newer idea to me.
I use jitter reducers such as Genesis Digital Lens in my systems, and this may mitigate some of the claimed shorter length "shortcomings."
I'm really impressed with the analysis plus digital oval -- a little over your price but you can find them used. It trounced my previous xv2, adding (letting through) more warmth and heft without sacrificing detail. Meets your criteria nicely. I use a 2m w/ bnc-rca. The Straightwire Infolink and Wireworld Gold Starlights are also nice cables you can find used in your price range (I still use the infolink in one of my systems (xlr).

You'll hear lots of opinions regarding digital cable lengths. My experience leads me to believe that it depends on the cable. For example my (bnc-rca) one meter Tara the One sounds better than the 2m analysis plus. Then again, I haven't compared it to a 1.5m or 2m Tara. The idea is that the longer length reduces reflections in the cable that smear the signal (timing). If the price isn't that much more, I'd go for the longer piece, but I'd get a 1m better cable over a 2m lesser one.
