Xangsane XS-1001Ag silver coax SPDIF cable

I agree @soix Lavricables are great value for the money. However, I don’t think they make S/PDIF or AES/EBU cables.

Looks like I've been labeled an "expert" just because I like the Xangsane products. Oh well, I can live with that.

I recently ordered and received a Xangsane phono cable from AliXpress, Ordered it because I was hoping the shielding protocol used looked “proper” and wanted to see if it would help reduce hiss/hum from my vinyl playback.

Yup, it did! Noise all but gone!

Have not had an opportunity to A/B the cable with my previous one sonically (too busy comparing amps at the moment…) but I look forward to listing what, if any improvement I hear.

It did do what I hoped it would do, and that was eliminate pretty much all the noise! Was so pleased with that, don’t know if I care how much better it sounds sonically, because it already sounds better :)

Would happily try one of their other products and compare them to the other cables in my system.

The naysayers like to compare a source to a DC battery, and the receiving component to a light bulb. Constant, stable source, constant stable load.Cable is not going to matter much beyond its resistance.

In a home Hifi set up, this is flawed thinking. An ever changing dynamic signal going from the source to a reactive load/destination component. The impedance, resistance and capacitance of the cable all react to that dynamic signal differently, and send a modified version of the signal to the load, or destination component.

Cables, matter.

I haven't tried Chifi cables yet, but I did buy one that Steve Huff recommended on one of his videos......so obviously I'm not opposed to them. There are some great reasonably priced cables from companies like: DHLabs, Zavfino, Morrow Audio, and the previously mentioned LavriCables; both high purity copper, and silver cables available.

Why are you even here? 

You do nothing but deride everything and anybody you disagree with and contribute absolutely nothing of value. 

Your profile picture is very appropriate.
