Kimber Illuminations D-60 -- available thru Audio Advisor and others, occasionally used on Audiogon, but they get snapped up quickly.

Juancgenao, read my Gon review of the Stealth Sextet cable regarding why this one of the best digital cables available on the market today. I auditioned over 8 highly regarded cables to come to this conclusion. If, your interested in auditioning/purchasing one a dear friend of mine is selling his, his new digital front uses optical cables, so leave something regarding this on your thread and I will E-mail with details.

There are many excellent digital cables available. The D-60 is good but many others are better including the Sextet. I have owned both (BNC D-60 & XLR Sextet). You might also consider some of the Virtual Dynamics digital cables. A more reasonably priced cable you could try is the WireWorld Gold Starlight 5.
IMPO: BNC and XLR terminations are best for digital cables. And, if at all possible, try before you buy.
One thing to consider if you are contemplating higher buck dig. cables, they can be tough to sell so buy something that is popular.
BTW: I'm also using the Gabriels. What do you think?
