Digital Cable for 47 Labs Shigaraki Transport/Dac?

And what powercords? Sorry to leech onto this thread.

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.

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).

I completely forgot when I last posted in this thread. I've used the Mapleshade IC as digital cable. I doubt they really have any build differences between their analog and digital ICs. Anyways, with the my Meridian Trans/Dac connected to the gaincard, the Mapleshade exhibited the most air and detail in mids with sacrifices in the extreme high and lows.

The Mapleshade IC and speakercables works very well with my Gaincard too. But, Bogdan's bare silvercable that I bought from Audiogon works even better.
