Impact of low quality analog RCA interconnects


Hi,

What is the most common sonic impact one would expect by using lower quality RCA interconnect between dac and preamp vs high quality ones?

I'm thinking about replacing radiobshack interconnects with higher quality chord to address an occassional sibilance, high frequency/ treble harshness problem ( especially on live recordings of female vocals)? Any this will solve my problem, or is it a dac issue?

There's really only one way to find out... sibilance could come from your source before DAC. For interconnects, I recommend either Blue Jeans LC-1, canare L-4E6S, or Signal Cable Analog One or TWO.
With these, you are sure to get really good cables at the right price. Of course, you could spend hundreds more for better (hum) or for worse, i.e. AQ, Kimber, ZU, or iBELIEVE xr26gold with super secret B3 technics.
