Advice on a good Digital Coax Cable to run between my Transport and DAC?


I need a good Coax Digital cable to run between my Jays Audio Transport and my Denafrips Pontus 15 DAC. I have the Wyred4Sound Remedy Reclocker connected between the transport and Dac. So I need 2 cables. I'm looking for a cable that's revealing but not overly bright. One that's a little on the lush side 

 

Thanks!

great insightful article. Looking for additional advice. Thanks in advance

Currently have a Audiolab transport and a Meitner DAC Ma 1 V2 in a secondary system. Will most likely upgrade transport in near future, but, it is what it is now. 

Dac and transport connected via Coax (decent cable, not to expensive, don't recall brand) Am awaiting a Bricasti m5. Will be hooking that up to the DAC via a Good AES/EBU cable. With the exception of the Transport, all cables are balanced throughout.   For now the current transport only has coax and optical. My new transport will sport a AES/EBU connection. Question: With only one AES/EBU connection on DAC, which unit should get the COAX and which the AES/EBU?? Thanks, Robert TN

Since my DDC (Pi2Design) and DAC (Chord Qutest) both have BNC S/PDIF connections, I built my own using VH Audio Pulsar AG coax crimped with Trompeter UPL2000-D(1, 7, or 24) BNC connectors.  You can use BNC to RCA adapters but you won't maintain a characteristic 75 ohm impedance.  It'll be close but not a precise match.

I just received a LessLoss RCA digicable with the Entropic process, and reasonably priced. It sounds grand right out of the bag but improves with burn-in. I have several PC's too. LessLoss has the special sauce on its products. Neal
