Some years back, I owned a California Audio Labs Delta CD transport and their Alpha DAC. I bought a .5 Meter Kimber Orchid, as the Orchid was supposed to be an excellent AES/EBU cable. It was terrible(the crappy Monster coax I tried first, sounded better). I replaced it with a 1.5 Meter Orchid and found bliss. Just my lesson learned about digital reflections and cable lengths. If I ever happen to again need an AES/EBU cable, I'll be shopping for an Orchid.
Short coax digital cable: qed audioquest ricabl
Hi everyone
Need a short coaxial digital cable to connect amplifier and Cdp, both Cambridge audio. Cd has no dac, just mechanic, dac is in the amp.
1 meter max.
One school goes it's digital, cable makes no difference, spend the last possible. Second school thinks even short cables matter and there are quality cables.
So far I have the Audioquest Forest 0,75m, their entry level, for which I spent 25 €.
I am tempted by Qed Performance, which cost around €60.
I also discovered this: http://www.ricable.com/coaxial-hi-end.html
which seems very good, but not so popular. What do you think. Would this bring improvement over the Audioquest Forest?
Othesr swear by mogami. Others to qed.
Ideas?
thanks
