Advice on a good Digital Coax Cable to run between my Transport and DAC?
Since my DDC (Pi2Design) and DAC (Chord Qutest) both have BNC S/PDIF connections, I built my own using VH Audio Pulsar AG coax crimped with Trompeter UPL2000-D(1, 7, or 24) BNC connectors.  You can use BNC to RCA adapters but you won't maintain a ...

Sonically -Cardas the difference between the CLEAR Loudspeaker cable ,and CLEAR BEYOND
Has anyone compared Pangea Audio’s, SE RCA’s and XL XLR’s which use Cardas grade one copper, to any of the Cardas models?  If yes, how did they compare?  
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
Bjork!  
We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes
What are digital signals?  They're really not 0's and 1's.  They're nothing more than an analog representation, voltage differences, of a 1 and a 0. Any significant change in the voltages impacts what the voltages represent, let alone their timing... 
DDC or Better Streamer?
This is just a suggestion.  Take a look at Pi 2 Design's Pi2AES or Mercury streamer/DDC's.  See review below. https://goldensound.audio/2022/06/03/pi2design-mercury-streamer-server-measurements/  
Amps.. Is Odyssey worth it?
I’ve had my Khartago mono blocks for 15 years and they still sound great.  
Sound quality differences in streamers
Yes, bits are perfect but the timing of their arrival at the DAC isn't.  It's mostly about being in the right place at the right time as our ears are very sensitive to the timing.
