Looking for a new digital cables. Has anybody heard these?

Hello,

My system consists of a Magnum Dynalab MD309 Hybrid amp

Vecteur cd player used as a transport

Cambridge Audio CXN V1 streamer

Totem Forest Signature Speakers

XLO Reference 3 speaker cables

Audioquest Coffee SPDIF cable

XLO Reference 3 SPDIF cable

I have 2 SPDIF inputs on my amp so I use it's internal DAC for both my streamer and cd player.

 

I want to upgrade my digital cables. Happy with the sound of my system at present but looking for more detail, better soundstage, more of everything. Cable should be neutral.

Cables I'm considering are Nordost Valhalla V1

Chord Signature Super Array

Black Cat MInitron

Silnote Orion M1 Elite Master Reference

Wondering who has heard these and if anyone has done comparisons. Silnote are intriguing and are currently on at a good price on Audiogon. Open to other cables too.

Budget no more than $1200

I own the Valhalla's. I'm using one between my EtherRegen and After Dark clock. And I also have one on my Tascam to record HR from Qobuz.

Never compared the others though. I guess I just figured that the Nordost cables have been around a long time. And resale value is probably still pretty good.

For $1125 you can get a High Fidelity Cables CT-2 S/PDIF through The Cable Co.

I have one and it's able to present music in an analogue way. I've auditioned about 10 SPDIF coax cables.

I had Cerious Technology, Wireword silver and gold, Shunyata Alpha and Sigma and Kubala Elation but none of them could compare to my High Fidelity Cable digital.

Get a Jorma Digital cable if you can I think new $1500 but you should be able to find them cheaper if you look.
