For the IC to the pre I'd suggest either Shindo's Silver IC or Auditorium which hopefully you already have between your Giscour and Amp. As far as the "digital" cabling I use a Wireworld Platinum USB and have been happy with it but haven't played around with others so can't compare.
"Loom" cabling vs. 'mix n match' ?
I want to use a new set of cables for my awesome Moon 780D DAC v2 - - including a power cord, an AES/EBU input from the Moon 260D Transport, and RCA IC's (into a Shindo Giscours preamp). I've read good things about Acrolink-Mexcel, Shunyata, Nordost and Purist among others. But is there an advantage to using the same manufacturer for all cable types in and out of the Moon ? Or might the cumulative effect be too much of a good thing which would be better improved by intermingling brands ?
