Digital cable recommendations?

Hi,

The EVS Millenium DAC II units are supposedly starting to ship, and I'm somewhere on the list. THis will be my first outboard DAC. I will be using a Pioneer Elite DV05 DVD player as a transport.

Can anyone recommend a good digital coax (with RCA) cable in the $100 - $200 price range? Cardas, JPS, EVS's own cable, or any other brands?? Any info is appreciated.

Thanks,

Phil

Check out the Zu Cable Firemine. This is an excellent cable that won't break the bank. It is $60 per meter and available at www.zucable.com or on Auction here at Audiogon. There is a 30 day money back gaurantee, so compare them with some others in your system. I compaired it to a Tara Labs CD-1 and it is more detailed than that.

Good Luck

Ric's own EVS digital cable for $75.00 is a steal for the performance. The cable is very detailed, yet not sterile. It presents the music as a cohesive whole, not fragmented.I've been using my digital cable from EVS, since my first DAC I purchase. NOTE: I'm waiting for my unit to be upgraded from a Millenium DAC IB to II status. Good luck. Let me know when you receive your DAC and how you like it.
