Mapleshade Digital ?

I heard good things about the $40/meter entry level version, and I am considering their top of line version - Clearview Double Helix w/ PLUS upgrade ($167/meter). But I haven't seen anyone here mention them or any professional reviews. Has anyone tried any of Mapleshade's digital RCA ICs? If so, please post your impressions. Intended use is to connect my Squeezebox Touch to my DAC (a highly modified Beresford called the Superberry, by K-Works).

TIA!

The first response is from someone who uses them, maybe he'll chime in here.

These are some testimonials from others on the Mapleshade site.

And here are three reviews from PFO on the ribbon ICs and speaker wire.

From that I think you can glean the sound Mapleshade tries for. That, and I don't see why you couldn't use the ribbon ICs in place of the 'digital' ICs.

All the best,
