The best digital IC, period.

Rpg, Well I recieved the 6 footers today.
Cold and out of the bag and straight into my Squeeze Box Touch... it doesn't sound too bad. In fact is sounds very good. Not dark or slow. Very lively sounding with good soundstaging and frequency extremes. Really, everything I want in a digital cable.
Comparing it to the Morrow D4 with silver Eichman RCA's it is really quite close. It seems to have a sharper leading edge but perhaps more playing time will smooth that out. But right now, it seems like quite a bargain.

My Morrow Dig4 is better in my system than the Kimber Illuminati D-60 was so if this cable can play with those, save your money and buy the HaveFlex Dig SPDIF.

Ozzy, I'm glad your pleased. I think the HAVE/Canare option is a great place for people to start especially in the dark waters of IC's. I believe there indeed may be other cables out there that may sound better in their system than the HaveFlex, but I think the improvement might only be slight and you might get sucked into cables nearing the price of your equipment, I tell you, this cable business seems to be quite the racket with a lot of players making big claims. Yes, give your cable some time to break in, a couple of weeks I found and that bit of sharpness you detected will smooth over just a bit with no loss of resolution or extension. Enjoy, and forget that just because the cable is inexpensive does not mean it can't be a world class performer in many peoples systems, with the money you potentially may have saved, you can purchase a lot of music, and is that not what it's really all about?

Musicxyz, I noticed HiDiamond does not have an AES/EBU digital cable. Are you using their digital cable? If so, how does it sound?

A friend brought over a MIT digital balanced cable a while back, $3500. The best I've heard but just a bit pricy for me. Back to my cheap $1000 beater cable.

Xyz,

Are you a dealer for HiDiamond? You are from Canada and so is the Distributor of this cable located in Canada.
