Another cable question

Please don’t respond to this if you are a non believer. Just wanted to know if anyone has had a good experience with silver or silver/ copper blend out from they’ve Dac. Currently using older Acustic Zen absolute copper. There has been a number of members saying good things about silver for digital front ends and I think I,d like to give it a try. Streamer is Aurender N200 using DH labs mirage two feeding Pontus two. Budget is $700 max and it’s seems there are a number of cables in that range, thx in advance and happy New Year!

@bikeboy52 sorry for not getting back to you sooner regarding a 100% silver digital cable. I was finally able to complete my setup and burn-in of a silver Reference Digital Cable, sounds good at all frequencies with no harshness, but I'm a firm believer that silver cables need 150 hours of break-in time. I believe a good OCC copper cable or a blend of OCC and silver (at least 5N) will also sound good.

bikeboy52,

 

I sent you a PM, yet I don’t recall if it included a head letter?, be certain to check your spam ( junk ) mail for it as well. As there’s a lot to be shared on said topic of getting the best from your digital sources | including the use of both pure silver | silver plated copper IC’s | PCs | isolation footers which I’ve love to share.

 

Until then.

Oscar

Xangsane SP-9001Ag, pure silver conductors, I've made a thread about this cable. It really is amazing - not harsh or thin like bad silver cables can be.
