Digital Coaxial Cable 75 ohms choices

G'day redkiwi.Got the same;data 3&gen5a.Have you had yours upgraded to 24/96? absolutly best $300 sound return for the money out there.On bal dig cable:I talked to the designer at Syng.Research he says his bal cable sounds best with the connector collar removed,and will make it that way if you ask,got one,love it.Tried Gen Dig.Lense 'tween trans. & dac?Since they are all over the place used& cheap a sug.TRY

Hi, sorry for my slow return of posts - I am usually away somewhere on weekends - NZ is an outdoors kind of place. Thanks Mikec, I just try to stick to what I have heard, rather than hearsay, if you know what I mean. I agree with Albert Porter that the results with digital interconnects are very system dependant. Avguygeorge, I am very interested to hear how the Genesis Digital Lens improved things. Also will the Genesis take 48k in, and turn it into 44.1k out? No I have not done the 24/96 upgrade. If I send it to Theta I am up for US$350 just for freight - so I thought I might wait to see what happens with DVD-A, if anything, but you may have convinced me not to. Trouble is I would have to listen to my Meridian 566 DAC while the Theta is away - a fate much worse than the upgrade cost.

Hey,it may be great in NZ---But,I live 15 mi from Theata.I toss my stuff in the mi.van.Get to talk to all the nice folks,and they are indeed!I'm at least on your level,when the dac is gone---(sad).Ok J10 Harry Pearson,I'm not.So we're stuck with lay terms.The Dig Lense,seemed to give you more top to bottom.Mostly all instruments sounded just that extra real.I swear one by one each instr.sounded closer too real; piano, drums vocals;you could hear more nuances into the voice(closer to a person singing in front of you than you had before)5a to 24/96- Hard to put it into words.More every thing.I notice more depth with up-grade.More air around ea instrument/back up singers easier to 'place' I sit very near field ;speakers are in the middle of the room.(8x8x8chair from speaker triangle) More precise imaging,more low level definition.Yup,more everything.And don't 'ya know,I'm out there trying to score more.Over here in the states we have trained monkeys putting stuff together.You guys use Koala bears to put your stuff together? Oh yeah,without spell checker I appear even dumber than I actually are. Later,dude ok & g'day mai't

I have a Theta Data III and a ProGen Va with the 96k upgrade. The Digital Lens is a noticable improvement. BTW I use Kimber Orchid interconnects and have a Sigtech and sometimes a Z-systems in the digital chain.

Thanks for the review and comments. What you say is what I hear when a jitter device improves things. Sometimes the jitter device does the reverse when it is just plain out of context - like if you put an Ultra JitterBug with the Theta combination. I will keep an eye out for a Genesis unit.
