@ thiefoflight
I have owned most of AZ line of cables and they are very good but at the same price point, I highly recommend you try Black Cat Silver Star MK II SPDIF from the Cable Company Rental Department and be prepared to be AMAZED!

My next Coax / SPDIF after Green Hornet
Posting this in the digital section as I think I’ll have better luck here.
I’m in search for a new digital coax cable to go between my Bluesound Vault and my Luxman DA-06 DAC. I own two digital cables to date: a DH Labs Glass Master TOSlink which is too analytical and brittle for this particular application, and a Creative Cable Green Hornet which is magical on the bass and midrange but is not as revealing on the top end.
I’ve been trying to figure out where I can step up with a new cable and decided to try a Tara Labs ISM Onboard Digital, which is amazingly open, revealing and refined, but it just does not have the bass and midbass magic that the Green Hornet has. I’m wondering if there is another digital cable that may be somewhere inbetween the two. Upon my research, I’m thinking that the following cables might work for me:
Harmonic Technology Magic Two Digital
Acoustic Zen MC2
Has anyone played with the Green Hornet and compared to the two above? Or know of a more open/revealing cable that still had a similar bass extension / warmth as the Green Hornet?

@wig thanks for the recommendation. I have read good things about the Black Cat cable as well, and in other places, there have been folks who have tried it and have preferred the AZ line of cables. I think it will all depend on system matching. If the AZ doesn’t work out, I’ll consider it. I have two ends of the spectrum right now between the Green Hornet and the Tara Labs ISM Onboard, so as long as I find the happy medium, all will be well. |
I have been using it for a couple of years
and can highly recommend the KLEI gZero3D SPDIF |
