@rolox I'm not familiar with Xangsane,but will definitely check them out. I recently replaced a silver, copper,gold coax with a solid silver from Voodoo and experienced much the same result as you did.Congrats!
Xangsane XS-1001Ag silver coax SPDIF cable
I recently purchased a second hand Gustard X26 Pro DAC.
I was a bit disappointed with the sound from the sPDIF input; imprecise, splashy treble, not enough resolution.
I was using a Canare coaxial cable. Supposed to be "True 75Ohms and industry standard".
I decided to order this Xangsane pure silver coax cable, it arrived a couple of days ago. All I can say is WOW. Much more precision and transparency. Fabulous, wide and open image. Sometimes still a tiny bit "restrained" (?) in bass dynamics but the cable is new and pure silver + teflon is going to need some break in time.
But with this cable I’m finally able to hear what the X26 Pro is capable of!

@rolox OP: how much was this cable? It must have been thousands of dollars considering Jason Bourne is throwing a tantrum here.... |
@roxy54 yeah I use those interconnects too. They are the bargain of the century. Being familiar with those, I needed to give the coax cable a shot, and I'm not disappointed! @jtcf definitely check them out. Their silver wires are fabulous. @thyname it is around 130€ for 1 meter. @jasonbourne71 yawn. |
@rolox : Thanks. 130 euros is very reasonable cost for a good cable. It shows the snake oilers would always protest on cables, regardless of their price. It's a concept thing for them, nothing to do with price. They just dislike (or is it "hate"?) cables, period. |
LavriCables is another one to put on your radar. Several of us here have used their various cables, and everyone without exception has been very impressed with both their performance and value. They use 5N silver and high-quality AECO connectors and have very good build quality and seem to be priced similarly to Xangsane cables. They are made in Latvia BTW, but I don’t think they make a digital cable. Just another option to consider FWIW. Here are their base-level RCA interconnects just for reference… https://www.lavricables.com/cables/reference-silver-rca-interconnects/ |
