i2 Digital X-60, digital cable

Any members tried this new contender, I am starting to hear some buzz about it. From pictures it is lightweight and flexible with BNC/RCA combo connector included. Unfortunately I don't have BNC connection with my gear.

I have recently had very good results with "glass" toslink,
but was wondering if this is worth exploring. Also what cables did you previously use before X-60?

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)

Didn't 6mmoon do a toslink shoot out and thought they can't hear the diff between a $30 dollar glass toslink and name brand ones? I did get the glass toslink in that review from ebay. And, it sounds pretty good. Too bad the Nixon dac doesn't have optical in.

The $30 eBay glass Toslink smoked the $100 Moster Reference I got from Circuit City. Those 30 day money back trials work!

Deano is the one who told me to get the i2 Digital. I did see his classified selling the $2K Kharma.

We'll hear how this turns out...
