Cable suggestion

Since you are using your computer as the music source, why need get a software audio player that allows for a parametric EQ plugin? This will allow you to experiment with altering your system's high frequency reponse. It's more cost effective than a cable and will permit you far better control of your sound.

Jay Bird -

try Audioquest or Transparent cables/cords.

Jay - along the lines of Onhwy61's post...

I use Audirvana software on my mac, which has some nice flexibility...
- bypasses the OSX music processing code - which degrades the sound
- operates as standalone mode or integrates with itunes
- has an equalizer function if required
- can play just the raw music file ( no data file tweaking) - my choice
- can play flac files even from iTunes - it uses a proxy file - works well
- plays dsd - I think up to 128
- loads track into memory and plays from there - no network speed issues
- best of all - you can try it for free - just download from site.

I tried one other package and stopped when I tested Audirvana

Support is very good - quick to respond to questions and provide solutions.

I play everything from 44/16 through 24/192 without any issues, including
FLAC.

FLAC caveat - the folder for the proxy files has to reside on the computer
hard
drive - I had mine originally on the same NAS drive as my library and it
didn't like that.

I also use a Droid app called Retune to remote control iTunes from my Acer
tablet

The sound quality is the best I've heard to date
