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

There are some really good advice above. I have tried about every digital cable under the sun and ended up with the Illuminati D-60 Cable. I would also recommend the KS2020 as it is a fantastic cable.

The Apogee Wyde Eye and the Canare are great cables but can come across as grainy in the wrong setup. But then again they are ridiculously inexpensive. The Benchmark I auditioned was a bit thin and analytical to begin with. I would suggest going with a cable with more of a neutral to soft side of neutral character. The Kimber and Illuminati cables are not cheap but they are not $2500.00 either..

Good Luck..
