Best Digital Cable, Regardless of Price....


I actually own a CEC TL 1 drive match with a FORSELL AIR REFERENCE dac.I use a 1 1/2 meter VIRTUAL DYNAMIC NITE (with RCA) as a digital link.I like it very much but i wonder what is the next step to a better digital?
- few sugestions:OMEGA MIKRO EBONY, VIRTUAL DYNAMIC MASTER SERIE, SILTECH...
- Also 1 1/2 meter is suppose to be the best lenght for a digital ?
- so folks let's go for the digital i.c. of your dream !!!

I would suggest trying your present cable with BNC terminations first. I'm not a big fan of RCA for digital. BNC and AES/EBU terminations are superior.
I haven't done much comparisons since I don't plan for my source setup to be long-term, but I have the Jena Labs Fugue digital cable and compared it to my PS Audio Xstream, which is regarded as a pretty sweet sounding cable. The Jena Labs digital cable beat it pretty handily. I was happy that I even heard the difference, and since I believe that Jena Labs cables can be a last stop in cables, I have not bothered trying anything else.

I believe a Dreamdancer digital cable can be made so that would probably be the ultimate for me.

I have tried many at all different price ranges. Best of lot: Purist Audio Dominus. Jim Aud of PAD says AES/EBU connection bests RCA. I have RCA and am having it reterminated. Incidentally, I use the 1.4 meter Dominus between a CEC TL-1X and a Dodson 217 MKII D (w/218 upgrade) DAC.

Close second, and perhaps equal to PAD in a different system, is Kharma Grand Reference. Can't go wrong with either. I tried a Siltech G5 I think, which was very good but lacked the body of either the Kharma or Dominus.

Hope this helps.
