Just borrowed the MC2=ZEN digital cable from a local dealer, replacing the HT Cyber-link Copper between my Pioneer DV05 player and Sunfire Theater Grand II. It was like adding a new DAC to the system for both music and HT. Everything bloomed! Bass extension, high end detail, smoothness. I had tried the Iluminati D-60, Ultralink, Tara Prism, Cyber-Link Copper and DIY digital cables before and previously liked the Cyber-Link cable best overall. My wife may not be happy, but throwing caution to the wind. The other Acoustic Zen cables in the dealer's system sound terrific. Good Luck, Kurt
