Acoustic Zen Silver Bytes digital cable


Anyone has any opinions in regards to this digital interconnect cable? I am considering it to use between my transport and dac. Currently I am using Philips DVD player as a transport for my Bel Canto DAC2 and very basic Monster coax between the 2. Just wanted to know if the set up would benefit from the AZ digital cable. I know this Philips DVD player is not the best transport, but for now all I am looking for is to upgrade the link to the DAC2.
All my cables are AZ and I just happen to like these, so I was considering the Silver Bytes coax...
Would like to hear opinions about this AZ cable. thanx

Silver Bytes is 75ohm and MC2 is 110ohm. What's the difference? Could I use either one?
never mind my question...I found the answer to that on their website FAQ. Looks like it does not matter 75 or 110 ohm. Harnellt and Teajay thanks for your advice.
thanks for opinions. I will try to check out both the MC2 and Silver Bytes and see which one makes more sense in my system, although I am pretty sure as you all pointed out, MC2 is superior. Just didn't want to spend that much on one digital cable, but may reconsider. What is it about this latest buzz on 1.5m legth for digital cables giving better performance than 1m? Is 1.5m really an improvement over the same cable in 1m length? Or is it just hype? do you know? I've read this whole theory about it. just wanted to know if I should get 1.5m instead of 1m.
Tooter, I've heard this too with exception that both are equally good with neither being superior when talking about RCA type link. What I heard was silver byte was designed to be RCA type and MC2 to be XLR type, so between these 2 in RCA version, silver byte should be as good as MC2. I will research this further, but according to folks who replied to my post, they heard noticable improvement when switching from silver bytes to mc2. I guess it also depends on a system it is being used in. It may give different results in different systems, but it is kind of interesting to compare the 2. I will try and do that in next few weeks.
