What is the best digital cable?


What is the best digital cable? Acoustic Zen,Illunimati D60 Ect.? Does it make a difference if you use 1/2 m vs 1 m

The DRC, digital reference cable by Esoteric Conductors is my favorite. Nothing comes close and is worth every penny if $450/ meter is in your budget. Amazing speed, details; the harmonics are comepletely coherent and no fatigue whatsoever. Maybe you can find a set in usedcable.com.
rch10,

What is the website for Esoteric Conductors? Did you compare the the DRC from Esoteric to the Purenote Epsilon digital? If so what were the results. I'm thinking of replacing my HT Platinum digital interconnect with the Epsilon since I'm very satisfied with the Epsilon RCA analogue interconnect which replaced my Truthlink.
Dekay, great to see you in here again bud! How are things 45" north of me?

Viggen, as Dekay mentioned I did have a problem with my Mapleshade Double Helix coax cable when I used it with my Simaudio Moon I-5. Whenever I turned my powered sub on/off it changed the sound in a very drastic manner. Eldon at Mapleshade was very conscientious in his service, he even called me to ask how things were going. In the end I decided to keep the cable and test it in a future system.

Well, I've since sold the I-5, bought an Electrocompaniet ECI-3 and also the Blue Circle BC21/BC22 combo. Guess what? The Mapleshade seems to fit very well with the Blue Circle gear, and no weird sonic anomalies either. Maybe I should have taken Eldon's advice and pestered Pierre more to find out what the original cause might have been.

I still swap around the Cardas Lightning L-15, Kimber Illuminations D60 and the Mapleshade. I must not have golden ears, because to me these three sound pretty darn close. The differences are very subtle. The D60 being the most dynamic and lively. The L-15 having a fuller balance. And the Mapleshade the easiest on the ears. But as I said the differences are VERY subtle. I'd have a tough time identifying each one if I were blindfolded.
