I2S Recommendation

@lanx0003 Sorry I don't recall seeing that info about the Optimus cables. You'd probably have to ask them and see if it's something they are willing to share.

Now that I think about it, I don't really notice any trend as far as which materials sound good to me. I like the AQ Vodka and Thunderbird (both silver plated copper) much more than the higher priced Firebird which is pure silver. I didn't care for the Wireworld Platinum Starlight which is pure silver, but I also didn't really like the Nordost and Kimber models I tried which use silver plated copper. 

Come to think of it, my three favorites from Veritas, DH Labs, and Voodoo, actually don't specify what they use. Voodoo uses the name "Silverstream" but never tells us what materials it is made from. And DH Labs uses the name "Silversonic" for all their products, even the pure copper designs. So who knows at this point?

@v-fi You've owned the Veritas Optimus 100 for a month now so I assume you have some hours on it.  Still loving it?  Has it changed for you?  Did you by chance go back and listen to the DH labs and Voodoo again, or have you already returned those?  Thanks for your input.

@audiostick Still really loving the Veritas Optimus 100.

Right now I'm using the Denafrips Gaia with their Terminator 2 DAC, a HeadAmp Blue Hawaii electrostatic amp, and some Stax SR-X9000 headphones (I guess Stax prefers the term earspeakers). It's an extremely resolving system that shows differences in every part of the chain, down to things like cables and power conditioning. 

I have actually tried to compare a few of my other I2S cables now that I am used to the Optimus. It's tough to go back though. It feels like the differences are more pronounced when stepping down than when upgrading. I still say the Voodoo, DH Labs, and AQ Vodka are quality cables, but they can't keep up with the Veritas. At least in my system. 

@v-fi Appreciate the feedback.  Other than Tubulus, there are not allot of reviews or discussions out there regarding i2s cables.  Good to hear the Veritas continues to deliver as it breaks in.  Thanks again.

@audiostick Agree, there seems to be a million cable reviews for interconnects and speaker cables. Even other digital cables get lots of coverage. I2S seems ignored for the most part. That's why I had to try a bunch of cables and decide for myself.
