Help me pick a digital cable

What is a good digital cable for about $150 USD (max 200).

I am looking for a neutral cable that is very open sounding.

I will need RCA connections and will go between my Parasound (CEC) 2000 belt driven transport and my Wadia DAC.

Also what is people experience with 1m vrs 1.5 meter lengths. I read the article written by Steve at Empirical audio. Has anyone compared 1m to 1.5?

Cheers,
Nick

Stereovox HDXV ($100.00), it's a great cable. If you'll call John Pharo at The Cable Company, 1.800.fat.wyre, they'll be a great help. Their website is: www.fatwyre.com. They even have a cable library where you can check cables out and try them for a week or two. It's great deal.

2 cables that have seemd to have garnished a lot of good feedback are the Stereovox HDVX which I think goes for around $100 and Chris Venaus' Pulsar cable which depending on type of termination desired or if you want the cryo version whill come in around your budget target.

Nick, I'm sure there are many good choices to be had that I've not heard, but my research into cables at this price point led me to the Stereovox digital cable. All the reviews portrayed this as a cable with a stellar price/performance ratio. I have found it lacking nothing, being neutral, revealing, and very well harmonically balanced, especially for the modest price.
