i2 Digital X-60, digital cable

Deano
Are you able to use X-60 BNC connecttion with your gear? The price seems reasonable but I wonder if the RCA connection would also have same excellent results. I have AZ Mc2 currently as my RCA digital cable which in the past has been very competitive, but I see some of same people who originally recommended Mc2 are talking about X-60 cable now.

The X-60 comes with two BNC to RCA adapters included in the purchase price so everybody with RCA digital connectors can use this cable. I can only speculate that terminating the X-60 cable assembly into available RCA connectors comprimise its performance. I was leary of the adapter degrading the sound but my fears were quickly smashed upon listening. It beats everything I have had. Furthermore, I spoke with Jerry Ozment @ AudioLogic to see about having the RCA on his DAC changed to a BNC connector and his advise was not to do it. No sonic advantage would result. Plus it would now limit me to using only BNC configured cables which are few if any...yeah I'm extremely satisfied with the I2 but as I have always said..."Never turn down an audition"...you might learn something.

Lak told me he ordered one of these. I plan to audition it with my Cambridge CDP and in his system.

Hey Psychic, please keep us informed on how this cable sounds. Also, either you or Lak wouldn't happen to have a D-60 to compare the i2 cable with? I just sold mine, or I could have let you guys use to compare. I also find RCA cables made from CAT 5 to be very good in digital application. Well, they are digital cables to begin with just with emphasis on exteremely high bandwidth and distance requirements.

If you guys keep this up I will be forced to order one, or Sarajan at 6 Moons will say that this has become his new reference digital cable (he has been using AZ Mc2, and also alerted me to excellent WireWorld SuperNova III glass toslink cable)
