Auricle Audio Design or Atlas Opus digital coax??

If you want to hear the superbly revealing and musical
Auricle Audio Design "Encore!" Signature Digital IC
in a longer length,
why not ask Joe Mazzaglia to build it for you?
On his website it requests "please email for longer cables."

Thanks Listener57, it seems i missed that bit that you can request longer cables on the Auricle Audio Design website. I have read on older topics here at Audiogon that both the Auricle Audio Design and Atlas Opus are very good in comparison with most cables. The Atlas Opus is also THE reference cable to test equipment with for a certain respected hifi magazine. The Atlas Opus used to be about twice the price of the Auricle Audio Design cable but can nowadays be found for half the price new. I bet i won't be dissapointed with either the Atlas or Auricle cable but if someone had heard both let me know!

Rcduck7,
Post your decision and what you hear when you install your new digital IC.
If you speak with the designer, Joe Mazzaglia, he can tell you about the results replacing other brands with Auricle's best.
The Atlas Opus may not have enough sales in the US to ever find someone who has directly compared your two finalists.
I can tell you that in my systems with Auricle everything in a recording is revealed letting the great recordings deliver their full audio and musical thrill.
Best luck making your pick.

I also opened up a thread on Audiocircle in the meantime. Someone who tested more then a few cables also recommends the Atlas Opus, especially for timing and rhythm, something that is a problem with a lot of digital cables he says. He didn't have the Auricle Audio Design i believe. I also got a few recommendations for a Black Cat Veloce digital RCA, it certainly got good reviews on 6moons and Positive Feedback. I didn't have contact with Joe Mazzaglia yet. I'm not i a big hurry to buy a digital RCA but i guess within a few weeks. Recommentdations are still welcome.

Rcduck7,
Although I do wish more than one of Joe's satisfied customers would comment, let me be a "one man band" stating that outstanding "timing and rhythm" or the overused reviewer abbreviation "PRAT" ( ?pace, rhythm, attack, timing) is certainly applicable to more than one digital IC brand. Auricle does elicit the WOW response in those listening to their own familiar recordings in my systems.
In the digital cable sales arena it is almost unheard of to have a reviewer connecting two pieces of equipment already owned by any one of us mere mortal audiophiles - and you are not there to listen and simply judge for yourself.
Spending good money without an airtight guarantee of owning the best for our specific system components is a fact of life for most of us.
Yet, you can count on owning a wonderful performer in other people's systems based on the preferences of others.
Then you have a high probability that it works beautifully in your own system(s).
Auricle is at work in two of my systems, which may either be one or two votes in its favor :>)
I still believe it can be fun and informative to speak directly to the person who actually designs and manufactures a product, because the character, taste, and persistence of the designer affects what he chooses to sell as his best effort at a given point in time.
By the way, if you are willing to pay for unique "regardless of price" customized one-of-a kind digital IC tell that to Joe at Auricle. He can make it for you.
