What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000?

I also have two pairs of Blackcat Silverstar II and Sablon Panatela to connect from M scaler to Chord Dave.

I need more time to compare between Blackcat Silverstar II and Sablon Panatela cables to get to clear conclusion.

But it seems that Sablon Panatela cables give more refined sound than Blackcat Silverstar II .

I recommend OP to try out pair of Sablon Panatela cable

I need 6 digital cables in my complicated digital system.

Thus I am not willing to spend more than 1K$ on one digital cables.

But  Sablon Audio  Panatela is a sweet spot on performance per value.

It gives almost top quality at reasonable price.

Cable is dependent on system and personal taste.

OP had better contact Mark of Sablon Audio to get audition of its cable.

You do not need to spend lot of money on BNC digital cables to get good sound.

I am quite happy with  Sablon Audio  Panatela digital cable   at 550$ for 5 ft cable.

Dear Op

There is no best cable for everybody.

It depends on system and personal taste.

Also, law of diminishing return applies.

It is not the case that 2,000$ cable is always better than 1,000S cable.

I had got my Dave and M scaler only one week ago.

But I am in the process of comparing pairs of Blackcat Silverstar II and Sablon Panetta BNC cables between  Dave and Mscaler.

You had better try out some cables in your system to find out what you like.

This is really bang for the price.

This one give warm and round sound with deep and wide soundstage.

While Blackcat Silverstar II is pretty good for the price with lot of details, it tend to show slight hard edge.

Now pair of Ram BNC cables are placed between Dave and Mscaler.

I use Sablon Panetta BNC between Jays CDT2 and Lyngdorf 2170( just room correction only ).

I also use Zenwave D4 digital cable between digital output of Lyngdorf and Chord Mscaler.

This combination give best overall sound to balance details and warmness with super wide and deep soundstage.

I had been using Blackcat Silverstar II for 4 months.

It has nice details. focus and decent soundstage but with slight hard edges.

Sablon Panetta BNC  has all the good things of Silverstar II with refined treble.

If you want deeper soundstage, you had better upgrade to Dave.

The difference made by digital cable is subtle not huge.

But Dave will impress you.

I replaced Zenwave D4 with Sablon Panetta BNC half hour ago.

Thus I am using two Sablon Panetta BNC upfront.

Then it sound more refined with clear and deeper soundstage.

I think it is a waste of money spending on expensive digital cables costing 1K or more on each.

You had better spend the money on upgrade of DAC or source like decent music server or CD Transport.

Digital cable is no magic bullet.

Digital signal can be only as good as the quality of  your digital source.

You can buy two packs of ferrite cores and apply to Blackcat Silverstar II to prevent RF noise.

I have already done that with slight improvement .
