SPDIF Coax cable recommendation?


Hello, 

I'm looking for a recommendation for a coax spdif digital cable.

It will be feeding a Border Patrol SE-i DAC ...either directly from an Ifi Zen Stream (for now) ...or from a Denefrips Iris DDC.

The rest of the system is warm.

Ifi Zen Stream > Denefrips Iris > Border Patrol Dac OR Denefrips Ares ii Dac  > Van Alstine RB10 tube preamp > Van Alstine SET 120 power amp OR Oliver Says 2a3 SET power amp > Fritz Carbon 7 SE mkII loudspeakers

Specifically looking for a rather short cable if possible .  The stream is very close to the DAC...so a somewhat flexible cable would be good.

Also, in keeping with the high value components of the system, I'm not looking for a very expensive or exotic cable.

Thank you

JS

thanks, the Ifi Zen streamer has the ipurifier built in to the coax spdif output ...so it’s always on when going straight out of the streamer. But not when using the Denefrips Iris

I should say I’m currently using a BJC 1m cable and it’s fine. But I was looking for an upgrade and perhaps silver given the warmth of my system.

Also, not planning on completely cheaping out....just would prefer a high value cable. I guess my budget would be up to $250 but I’d rather spend less.

I was also curious about the Signal Cable Silver Digital 

Thanks for all the suggestions

Lots of folks suggesting used AZ MC2 as well as DH Labs.

I may make an offer on one of the AZ cables being offered.

A few people suggested Morrow...and there's a DIG3 from Morrow that just posted on USaudiomart for $60.

Also, my equipment is rca to rca.

My analog interconnects will be next (streamer to pre and pre to power).  Not sure how much I need to think about synergy between the analog rca's and digital spdif at this point 

Does Zavfino still produce digital cable? I can’t seem to find it on their site.

Also, is the consensus that the Supra & Morrow coax cables will be a marked improvement over the Blue Jeans I’m currently using ?

@lrlacosse 

thank you

Ive been considering TWL for 2 pairs of analog rca interconnects but there’s very little out there about their s/pidif cable.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions

I ended up purchasing a pre-owned Triode Wire Labs Spirt 75 dig cable since I’m interested in his interconnnects and maybe speaker cables in the future
