Warm relaxed digital coax

Give this cable a try, very likely you would not bother with any other brand. The cable is crazy good and offers precise delivery of your digital bits. No harshness / glare….slightly warm presentation.

“my experience here indicates to me that once you get past the basic transport level…it’s all about the clock.”

Agreed! That’s been my experience as well.

Given your system, interesting decision on Teac transport. Are you testing the waters with Teac transport before you upgrade to Esoteric top tier CD transports like K-01XD or Grandioso K1X SE. 

@mikelavigne

sorry for delayed reply. I appreciate the detailed reply and it does make sense to exploit the full potential of Teac player before you pursue an elite player from Esoteric or Wadax. It’s good to know that a $3K player is not compromising the chain and offers good enough thrills. I don’t expect anyone here to try $20K clock to get the most out of a $3K player but your point is well understood on the importance of master clock in a well heeled system.

I honestly believe you would appreciate the elevated sound from Grandioso K1X SE since you already own the G1X clock. There is so much more on tap with K1X SE other than incredible VRDS Mechanism offered in 701T. BTW, I love the new racks; they handsomely complement your incredible room and equipments. Cheers!
