AES/EBU comparison


Coincident 1M digital, balanced, XLR
has good air, deep soundstage subtle detail with great integration from top to bottom
six nine copper, a bit dark at the top

Stealth Premier Varidig 1M digital, balanced, XLR
nice crisp detail with upper mids and highs, lower mids and bass are more diffused, soundstage is more forward, less deep, doesn't have the same integration from top to bottom
silver, but not bright or sibilant

I'd like to find an AES/EBU that combines the best of both. What do other members use/like?

Try the Synergistic line of digital cables I like the Designers Reference Squared with active shielding.
My system has a Theta Data 3 and a Gen VA with a Digital lens. Contact Paul at the Cable company they can send many different cables to you and then you can decide for yourself.
