In my experience:
A= Significant improvement in sound quality
B= Modest improvement in sound quality
C= Minimal improvement / No discernible change in sound quality
Shunyata (Alpha Digital, 2016) for my DAC= A . I bought this for $500 from Usedcables ( owned by The Cable Company, but with a separate web site). Best money I spent on PCs, but after a lot of trial and error.
Highly Recommended- choose the model based on the current needs of your component. Older models with Ztron technology are terrific. Haven't tried the new Venom, Alpha, ....line
Allnic ZL3000= B. Bought new from a dealer on Audiogon for $840- do not recommend because they are overpriced for the small improvement
NRG Custom cables, Canada. Bought for CDN$400 = B. Recommended, but don't expect "instant improvement" like you could get from Shunyata.
Zavfino majestic, $225= C Also not recommended.
Signal Cable= C. Not recommended
Amazon- W ? or something= C .Not recommended
I strongly support the idea of auditioning cables from the Cable Library with The Cable Company ( they also own the site www.usedcables.com)
Hope this helps.
