The Revalations Audio Labs comes up often in threads. It is kind of expensive but might be worth it. 
Need suggestions for a USB and digital cable.
I am sorry. The digital cable is to run from a Monarchy DIP to the DAC. I am using my dvd player as a transport optical out to the DIP but I need a digital cable to the DAC.
