Suggestions for a digital cable.


My only experience with digital cables are the ones I own, which I like and most likely will stick with. I have the Illuminations D60 from streamer to DDC and the Orchid XLR from CD transport to DDC. I am in the process of evaluating adding a Mini DSP SHD Studio to the system which will go between the Digital sources and the DDC/DAC combo. I have the choice of SPDIF or AESEBU. I am leaning toward another D 60 here. (Far less money than another ORCHID) and willing to look at used connectors for $400 or less. Anything I should look into that would equal to or better than the D 60 for the price? I have a lot of History the the two I have. Thank you! If this matters as well my analogue cabling is Wireworld Eclipse 8 through out and Silversmith Fidelous speaker cabling.

My components sound best with very neutral high quality interconnects and AES sound better than SP/DIF in my system (shown under my ID). I prefer Transparent. I would have a look through used cables … typically selling for 50% list.

WireWorld, AudioQuest and Transparent are the largest selling high end cable companies according to a survey of thousands of a audiophiles last year. Just useful info.
