I owned a Planet and found it schrill and hard. I used a Stan Warren modified 22B dac and it was great, much better than my (once owned) ARC CDP1. All this to say that if you are using the Plante direct I would go with a copper cable know for having a richer sound such as some of the Cardas gear. Perhaps pricey for a Planet, I'll leave that to you. Happy listening. Regards, Mike
