Need an " exciting sounding" digital cable

I have never experiment digital cable until tonight. It turn out my Kimber DV75 is a bit soft and smooth compare to a Naim DC-1. The comparison was made on the new Naim Dac and Audio Note Dac2.1 Balanced. Same result.

The Naim DC-1 is a small step toward the right direction. More definition, a little more spark, clearer bass while maintaining the natural warm of Kimber.

I wonder which cable should I try to make a bigger step for more exciting sound.

Kentchai, that is a good plan. Your own experience is what counts.

Thus far the best digital cord I have heard is the Synergistic Research D3,

4est, yes, opinions on everything in audio diverge sharply. You just have to hope that someone you trust has already gone through the pain of comparing the cables and reached a conclusion.

I think a charged cable makes a big contribution. I have another charged cable coming from Exemplar which may be the best yet.

Richard, it is not charged, which is putting a potential on the shield to deal with RFI.

4est, I agree with Richard, but unfortunately experimentation is not at all easy. The Cable Store does afford some opportunity but carefully read what they expect of you.
