Your question is very general, not sure if you will get any useful responses that will help you in particular. I have tried 4-5 of the usual contenders in the $250-$300 retail
range, and to me the AZ Mc2 was the winner. Extracted the most detail with a smooth/natural sound no other cable I tried at this price could match.
Now if you are talking about price is no object, then there
are other cables that I am sure will beat the AZ Mc2, but you never stated what price you would pay.
I would stick with 1 meter cable, it would be hard to sell
.5 meter, and I doubt you can hear any improvement. I have
read some places that claim toslink cables sound better when they are 1.5 meter, but I don't use toslink only RCA.
