What's the best digital cable around 100 each?

This is how I configure my system:

Cal Delta->Meridian 518->Cal Alpha (it's arriving)->Aragon 8002->KEF 103/4

Currently, I am using Audioquest Emeralds for all interconnections and Argent/Midnight double biwire speacker cables.

I need two digital cables to replace the Emeralds, one from transport to digital preamp, and the other from digital preamp to dac.

I am thinking about getting LAT International DI-20. I already use their powercord with good results.

(I feel like I am leeching off this forum for audio with not much to offer in return)

Viggen,

I run the LAT powercords/interconnects and they make an excellent product. Not so well known, but I've run thema against more expensive and they do very well. Be happy they don't cost a fortune.

Get used Illuminations D-60s (they can often be found around $100) which are wonderful reference quality digital cables. Analysis Plus Digital oval also sounds amazingly good (I used to own the D-60 and when I needed to cange from an RCA-RCA to a Rca-bnc I jot the AP cable and have found it fully satisfying (everything comes through clean and pure).

Don't spend a bundle here.Apogee or Canare will do a super job at very reasonable prices.

I have tried some of the cables mentioned here, but nothing I've heard is as good as Acoustic Zen Silver Photon retails for $99, most places discount to $90 or lower.

Hi,
A bit difficult to say which is best as all have their goods and bads!
However, for under a $100, some of the good ones are:
ZuCable Firemine
Harmonic Tech Cyber copper
Millersound digital
Acoustic Zen Photon
DH Labs D75
For real value for money, the Apogee and Canare LV-77S are great!
Hope this helps!
Rgds,
Ramesh
