Black Cat Cable.
Looking for a digital cable 75 ohm
Hi guys, I am looking for your recommendations for a digital co-axial cable to run between my sony dvd player to my Schiit Modi multibit dac. This eventually feeds my bottle head crack headphone amp. I want to buy the cable once and be done, ans so with this in mind I narrowed down to 3 options:
a) FURUTECH https://www.partsconnexion.com/FTECH-71168.html
b) Cardas https://www.thecableco.com/clear-digital-cable.html
c) Cardas https://www.dedicatedaudio.com/collections/cardas/products/cardas-parsec-digital-interconnect-cable
d) Kimber https://www.dedicatedaudio.com/collections/cardas/products/cardas-parsec-digital-interconnect-cable
So please help me make an educated guess. Also my original plan was to buy used, but not able to find a good quality option here at Audiogon. Thanks,

Thanks guys, you all demolished my options. I put those options out because I know the names and since you can not test all the cables, I thought you can atleast trust the brand to offer a decent quality cable. I am curious about Cerious although I am somewhat sceptical about Black Cat Cable. I read an interview with that guy and he said he buys the loom and tries different combo's to see what sounds best. So for someone who builds the cables in house by himself, I feel like he charges a bomb. Also there is no technical info as to what material he uses etc. So I feel like he is snake oil, but then again its an opinion purely on my observation. |
I preferred this $40 Apogee cable to my Stereovox XV2, which I believe is the same guy behind Black Cat. I think John Atkinson used this as his reference for a while as well, if that even means anything. The Apogee was more natural sounding without the sharp-edged detail of the XV2 and with better tonal completeness. Very neutral overall and definitely worth a shot at this price for a new 75-Ohm cable. Best of luck. https://www.amazon.com/Geistnotes-Apogee-Clock-Cable-WE-BB/dp/B01N6XL1XW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=... |
