I2S Recommendation


Mfr. of my new DAC (LAIV Harmony -- grand theft it is so relatively cheap yet so good!) recommends I2S over RCA, so now I am searching for an I2S to hear if it is a step up from the RCA digicable, which I am happy with. Thoughts? Neal

I just ordered the new Optimus 100 I2S model from Veritas Cables. It is priced just a little higher than the DH Labs and Voodoo models that I enjoy, still way lower than the Audioquest and Wireworld options I have here. I'll update here once I figure out my final ranking, so far DH Labs and Voodoo are in the lead. 

In addition to the I2S cable made by Ricable from Italy, Veritas Cable (located in California) now makes an I2S cable. They are both excellent.

I also got the Veritas Cables I2S today, so far it seems excellent. I'll update more once I've done comparisons to my other favorites which right now are the DH Labs and the Voodoo cable. But I can already tell I like the Veritas Optimus 100 more than any of the Audioquest and Wireworld models I have here. Even if the price is less than half, it just outperforms those. 

@2bgeorge I was interested in those Audiolund cables, couldn't figure out where to get them in North America though. Unless maybe they sell direct. I didn't try to order straight from the website.
