AES/EBU cables for Emm Labs DCC2 SE


I am curious which AES/EBU cables you have found worthwhile for the EMM Labs DCC2 or another equivalent D to A processor. It would be helpful if you could say a little about the cables you compared and their respective strengths and weaknesses. I really appreciate your time and assistance.

neal that is on my list too but i have not been able to find one on the used market. pricey little thing. it seems you are not alone as i have come across several threads praising the stealth.
i will be following this thread as i am in the process of finding a aes/ebu cable for use between my transporter and berkeley dac.

i have been comparing the mit proline digital reference and the kubala-sosna emotion. i have the valhalla coming too. the mit cable is laser sharp and presents a perfect sound stage to my ears. images are etched super clear and the background is dead quite. bass is punchy and taut. if a cable can be fast, it's fast! the highs may be a bit rolled off to get the precise edges, my only real complaint with the mit. the k-s is much more of a soft, musical sound. airy, pleasant and sweet with no audible roll off. not as quiet as the mit and does not image as well but still a very accurate sound. a super strong performer but my preference is the mit cable so far.

i am not much for audio adjectives but i tried to describe what i have digested so far. look forward to reading the input you get here.
another thought on my cable comparison posted above...

the mit is a dark sounding digital cable while the emotion cable is very light sounding. if your system is in need of some taming, the mit is a good choice, if it needs some lightening up, the ks cable.

i will have the nordost cable tuesday and will try to post some thoughts after some listening.
