Based on an earlier recommendation by Sugarbrie, I bought a pair of MAS cables from Stu Wein, [email protected]. I got a somewhat more expensive model, MAS Grey, for $80 to use with a Cambridge Audio D500 CD player, and have been very pleased. They made a clearly audible improvement in the sound of my system. The MAS Blue cables at $30 or the MAS Black cables at $50 would probably be a good choice for your sister, since she has spent less than $200 on the CD changer and DAC.
Interconnect for my little sister
My little sister just won an auction here at Audiogon for a Soundstream DAC-1 for $101. She also got a new AIWA changer for $65.99 at eBay (the one Stan Warren recommends). The AIWA only has optical out, but I figured for what she's paying it's an overall good package.
I was wondering what's your recommendation for a reasonably priced interconnect and Toslink optical cable. She'd never understand (or fall for) why I would recommend a $125 pair of Tice interconnects. She only paid $101 for the DAC and $65.99 for the CD changer--right?
She's got an oldie but goodie NAD 7125 receiver and Yamaha NS-10M speakers.
