The best digital IC, period.
Ozzy, no, the six foot cable lacked articulation and sounded a bit too warm for my taste. Your system being different than mine may not have a problem. Measure exactly what you need to the inch, HAVE will custom make you a cable without extra cost...

Steve, always in search for real performance at sane prices, can you tell me what these cables you are suggesting cost? I will not deny there must be cables that can compete with my findings, but I only tried six cables and have never heard of Rid...

Ozzy, let this forum know your perception of this IC after introducing it into your system. I am very interested if you have similar results.Almarg, thank you for your comments and description about the complexities of this interface as well as th...

Maybe John A would not be happy, but Corey G would be. As for Jafox's comments about HAVE/Canare analog cables I agree, they don't measure up, but for digital they are one of the best. Again, for a small $25 listen for yourself! If you don't like ...

Ozzy, Wadia 171i Dock/Transport connected to one of the two digital inputs on my Cambridge AZUR 840C CDP. With the HAVE/Canare cable we could not tell the difference between playing a CD and the Wadia,(loss-less files) this was the only cable that...

Bombaywalla, type in HAVE/Canare into your web browser and you will be brought to the HAVE website. They provide their telephone number to call them or you can select Digital IC's from their menu and order the cable. You will know you are on the r... 
Wadia iPod Dock and iPod Settings
Jaytea, thanks for the response, now I have a much better understanding of how and where the Wadia picks up the data from the iPod. I am surprised this forum did not receive much attention as I suspect there are many out there who have integrated ... 
Wadia 171i iPod Dock having too much Base?
Jaytea, thanks for the response, now I have a much better understanding of how and where the Wadia picks up the data from the iPod. I am surprised this forum did not receive much attention as I suspect there are many out there who have integrated ... 
Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl?
Many quality recordings are Digitally recorded, mixed and then mastered. So, when making a Vinyl of the performance, I can't but doubt that the Vinyl could be better as there must be a D/A conversion to make the Vinyl master?? So what additional i... 
Jitter and 75ohm cable length
One last Cliff Note to compress this entire forum. The bottom line is if your using a 75ohm coax between your transport and DAC, it's length should be 12" or less, or at least 1.5M and above, but nothing between these two lengths. I tried everythi... 
Jitter and 75ohm cable length
In the ending, the Toslink was a poor solution to any 75ohm cable I tried. I don't want to begin suggesting I can do the math on cable length and it's contribution to Jitter, I can only finish this by saying that my 36" length of HAVE/Canare 75ohm... 
Jitter and 75ohm cable length
Another twist. I noticed that my web of IC's (All unshielded Kimber silver SE and one balanced)could use some housework, so I spent quite some time rerouting and spacing the cables resulting in what I would call "neat and tidy. Then it happened, t... 
Jitter and 75ohm cable length
Al, thank you very much - most appreciated! 
Jitter and 75ohm cable length
Al, thanks, I appreciate your work in helping me understand this. I think in the end, as I may have mentioned, the 6' cable is easier on the ears. With this cable manufacturer, I can order any length, is there an "ideal" length, or are there too m... 
Jitter and 75ohm cable length
Can someone here give me a hand with the math and it's implications with respect to two different cable lengths from the exact same manufacturer. Much of the math in this forum is in meters, the typical standard. One of my cables is 3' in length a...
