Which digital cable to use with a Benchmark DAC-1


Looking for a good digital coaxial cable to use with my Benchmark DAC-1. Presently thinking of using the Stereovox HDXV. Do some of you have something to suggest ? Is there as much difference between digital cables as there is between interconnect ?

The transport is a Yamaha MCX-1000 music server.

Thank you

In my experience the KS2020 is a spectacularly good cable but too good for the Benchmark, the Zen MC2 is one of the worst I have heard (not even close to a 75ohm cable, so what do you expect), but for a cheapy that suits the rather thin and slightly strident sound of the Benchmark I reckon the single ended WideEye is a good match when terminated with Canare 75ohm plugs.
Indeed - in that context the KS2020 would be a good investment and a long-term keeper for when you upgrade the Benchmark.
