Is there a better quality Firewire cable?


I am putting together a Mac, Amarra, Weiss digital front end and need to connect everything using firewire. Long ago I discovered that digital cables also matter, but I have heard little about whether firewire cables matter.

I am hoping to revive this thread. See if anyone has more input on Firewire cables. I have a dCS Scarlatti stack and recently tried a Audioquest Diamond firewire, it's definitely better than stock. But wondering if something better is out there.

I have tried 3 separate clock cables now (stock, Cardas Lightning 15 and Purist Audio Designs Proteous Provectus Praesto)...all are clearly audible...the Purist being best (it's not subtle....)

I am guessing firewires might be the same outcome...
tbg, thanks, i am floored by the differences on digital cables, i don't understand why (digits are digits stuff) but I can sure hear it. The surprising thing is that I've compared Cardas to Purist interconnect before and the same thing in hear on RCA interconnects (dac to pre) I hear in clock cables...go figure

I did not know synergistic research had a firewire cable out...I will see if I can try one out...
