A good AES cable for Jay’s Audio CD 3 MK3 Transport

@soix +1, that Acoustic Zen MC2 is a steal at their asking price and come up used often as they have quite a following. Enjoy the music

This works for me.

You either are:

1) sensitive to the sound signature of particular cable architectures, in which case you should probably do some cable auditions to find the one that suits you best,

or

2) not sensitive to bespoke cable architecture and simply require an honestly built cable that meets objective specifications for uncompromised sound, in which case a cable from Blue Jeans or Benchmark will fit your requirement.

Check out DH Labs.  Good quality decent price and they put out 10-20% off coupons from time to time.

What DAC are you using?
