1+ for Blue Jeans cable. Strict 75 Ohm. It is said that cables between .5 meters and 1.5 meters are better. Well made. Affordable. Durable.

Cables longer than 1.5m (or shorter than 1 foot) are better.  Best would be 1.5-2m
Digital cable is system dependent.  Cable that works great in one system might sound poor in another.

I picked up a used Wireworld Starlight 6, two meter digital cable (red) for 60.00 here this past year.  It is an excellent cable.  I use it with my 8500.00 sacd player and my Wyred dac.

You could try a DH Labs Silver Sonic BL-1 (rca), D-110 (xlr) or D-75 (bnc). Reasonably priced excellent digital cable.
I have also used Oyaide DR-510 (rca), DB-510 (bnc) and AR-910 (xlr) but a little more $$, still reasonably priced though. These come .7m and 1.3m lengths.

Thanks for all the Idea's. Down to 3 choices.

1. Kimber Kable illuminations D 60  Currently $99.00 bidding at Ebay

Likely to go higher

2. Wireworld Starlight  $62.00 at Ebay

3. Oyaide DR 510  Audiogon $100.00


All cables are 1 meter.

I have used the D60 several times and liked it. Does anybody have thoughts on the Wireworld or the Oyaide?

Thanks for all your help!!!!!!!!!!!
