Digital Cable for 47 Labs Shigaraki Transport/Dac?


To the folks that have the 47 Labs Shigaraki Transport and Dac.What digital cable are you using and have tried?

Let's see, the Shigaraki DAC weighs in at about 8 ounces, right? I would use the lightweight 47 Labs Stratos cable for digital IC with Shigaraki--I say this not only because of the weight, but every other digital IC I have used has smeared the time domain. As for the power cable, the 0.65mm Stratos--you will have to make them yourselves. If you are uninclined to DIY power cords, then go with the lightest NBS power cord--I think it is called the dragonfly or the stinger.
Holman:

I do not use 47 Labs electronics (no longer use a DAC either), but when I used the 47 Labs cable (as a digital cable) between my player and a BC 1.1 DAC I found the Mapleshade digital IC to be close in sound to the 47 Labs cable.

I did slightly prefer the 47 Labs, but again the sound was very close.

If you plan on using 47 Labs cable throughout the system then purchase the kit for $600 (or look into their new line of cords which are more expensive). If not, then the Mapleshade cable is $125 and they offer a 30 day trial.

All of the cables in my setup (except power cords and tonearm wire) are 47 Labs OTA, and this may be why I preferred the OTA and the Mapleshade over other digital IC's (due to synergy).
