It depends on what you are going to use it for. I bought one thinking I would use it on my Wadia, didn't work. The base became very boomy, and I lost the sound stage (front to back and width), remember this cord has no shielding and on digital it is important to use a good shielded cable. I was going to send it back, but then tried it on my Cary amp and there was a slight improvment from the stock cord. I will keep it, good luck......Bob
