Experience with Audio Alchemy DDS pro transport

Hi everyone

I've got a lot of questions about I2S connections.

Are I2S cables siginificantly better in terms of sound quality than regular digital coax?

Does one have to have a very high end system to realize the difference in SQ when I2S cables are used?

Does it matter where the I2S cables are placed in your system? Does it matter more to use the I2S cable from your transport to the digital signal processor or from the digital signal processor to the DAC?

The reason I ask is that I can't find reasonably priced I2S cables. I've only found Revelation Audio who charge $250/cable or April Music Stello I2S cables $195 per cable. Are there any other makers of I2S cables that aren't so pricey?

I've also got an Audio Alchemy DTI Pro 32 going to an AA DDE v1.1 and everything sounds good to me right now.

Thanks and advise when you can. JD

Hi George

Thanks for taking the time out to reply and explain about the I2S interface. I'm casually still looking for a cable within my budget but having no luck. I keep seeing I2S cables for $200 or more. The cable would be worth more than what I paid for AA V1.1.

Take care. JD
