Oyaide DB510. Do not listen to it for at least a week, you will want to throw it away. Once it's "broken in" it's a great cable. Not in the "crazy" price range either.

I've tried 3 cables here. The stock dCS, Cardas Lightning 15 and Purist Proteus Provectus Praesto. The Cardas improves on the stock (nice upgrade $250), the Purist are even better, but at about $1000 each I think. What you'll here is more focus, more timbre, more detail...Good clock cables are a big deal from my point of view... |
Digital cable performance is dependent, among many other things, on the relationships between the length of the cable, the risetime and falltime of the signal being provided by the component that drives the cable, and the propagation velocity of the particular cable. As is almost always the case, the risetimes and falltimes of the outputs of the Esoteric clock devices appear to be unspecified. Therefore, if possible, it would be desirable to try to arrange a trial of two or three different lengths of whatever cable(s) you decide to pursue. One of those lengths should be 1.5 meters. See this paper by Steve Nugent of Empirical Audio. The cables will be used going to and from a digital Esoteric clock.While I'm not sure exactly how you are using the Esoteric clock, a point to keep in mind is that the cable connected from its output is presumably much more critical than the cable connected to its input.
