Digital Cable for 47 Labs Shigaraki Transport/Dac?

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.

Viggen:

I do not think that the Mapleshade Double Helix digital cable is the same as their Double Helix analog cable.

I'm not certain of the difference, but one thing I noticed is that it sounds "wrong" if it is not connected in the suggested direction, so for some reason (even though I only see two leads) it is a directional cable.

I also see from your system listing that you use the less expensive "Ultrathin" version which even Pierre describes as being lighter in the bass.

If you still have the Maplshade analog IC's around try loosening the adjustable RCA's (instead of tightening them) as this, on the digital IC anyway, increases extension in the HF area while @ the same time smoothing things out. I realize that this does sound a bit odd, but the same was true of my Harmonic Tech IC's which also used similar "big adjustable" RCA's. I found out by accident once when I forgot to tighten them (it took many weeks to figure this one out).

I just searched Bogdan and the cables are quite inexpensive. I sure could use a bit of their 18 gauge wire for the ground connections that I am replacing on some vintage gear (could probably leave it bare if it's stiff enough).

Are you using the Bogdan speaker cables as well? This is the first I have heard of them.
