Xangsane XS-1001Ag silver coax SPDIF cable


I recently purchased a second hand Gustard X26 Pro DAC.

I was a bit disappointed with the sound from the sPDIF input; imprecise, splashy treble, not enough resolution.

I was using a Canare coaxial cable. Supposed to be "True 75Ohms and industry standard".

I decided to order this Xangsane pure silver coax cable, it arrived a couple of days ago. All I can say is WOW. Much more precision and transparency. Fabulous, wide and open image. Sometimes still a tiny bit "restrained" (?) in bass dynamics but the cable is new and pure silver + teflon is going to need some break in time.

But with this cable I’m finally able to hear what the X26 Pro is capable of!

@thyname : someone grounded in Reality has to respond to the wild claims made by the cable believers. Wire does not change sonically whether you freeze it, run a million volts through it or lay it out in the moonlight. To believe otherwise is to deny science and engage in magical thinking!

So you have made your life goal to spam every single cable thread in this forum in an attempt to shut down every single discussion on cables?

@thyname : I have been here since 2016. Under my first moniker I had about 4K posts. Then I had to get a new phone and I had to reapply under a new name - jasonbourne52. That had 2863 posts until I needed another phone. For the third time I had to reapply - now jasonbourne71. So with around 7K posts here I know what I'm talking about!

Not really. 100 posts or 10,000 posts, you have been saying the same thing over and over. It makes zero difference.

@rolox OP: how much was this cable? It must have been thousands of dollars considering Jason Bourne is throwing a tantrum here....

@rolox : Thanks. 130 euros is very reasonable cost for a good cable. It shows the snake oilers would always protest on cables, regardless of their price. It's a concept thing for them, nothing to do with price. They just dislike (or is it "hate"?) cables, period.

I agree @soix Lavricables are great value for the money. However, I don’t think they make S/PDIF or AES/EBU cables.
