Recommendations for a Digital interconnect.


I am looking to upgrade my digital interconnect between my transport (theta Universal) and DAC (theta Pro-Basic 111A).
I am currently using a Tara labs RSC 75 and would like a cable of superior quality that is detailed, open, transparant and smooth upper frequencies. The Tara is very good but I want to upgrade.The rest of my system is:
AR LS16
VTL 150
Silverline Sonata 11.
Audioquest Volcano Bi-wired speaker cables.

I've used the Kimber Orchid and found it to be excellent. Lately, I've used the Cardas Neutral Reference. It's sold as a video cable. I find the sound to be essentially identical to the Orchid and its considerably less expensive.
I find that all of the Illuminations cables are quite good. You don't necessarily have to go with the really expensive models. Even their inexpensive models are outstanding.

NBS makes good digital cables too. Once again, you don't have to buy the kilobuck model. In general, the Illuminations will be smoother and softer sounding than NBS. This is what I find in my system, anyway.

If you have dealers nearby that will allow you to audition the cables at home, go for it. It's best to try the cable at home in your own system. Cheers!
Ensemble Digiflux is a great cable and I've seen a few out here for as little as $80.
I use and prefer the Cardas Lightning AES/EBU to the Madrigal AES/EBU, which is analytical, while the Cardas is very musical, well-- in my system. Craig
