I haven't tried Chifi cables yet, but I did buy one that Steve Huff recommended on one of his videos......so obviously I'm not opposed to them. There are some great reasonably priced cables from companies like: DHLabs, Zavfino, Morrow Audio, and the previously mentioned LavriCables; both high purity copper, and silver cables available.
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!
