Acoustic Zen Silver Bytes digital cable

Tooter, I've heard this too with exception that both are equally good with neither being superior when talking about RCA type link. What I heard was silver byte was designed to be RCA type and MC2 to be XLR type, so between these 2 in RCA version, silver byte should be as good as MC2. I will research this further, but according to folks who replied to my post, they heard noticable improvement when switching from silver bytes to mc2. I guess it also depends on a system it is being used in. It may give different results in different systems, but it is kind of interesting to compare the 2. I will try and do that in next few weeks.

You're probably right. It really depends on the system, and the listener as to which they'll prefer.

Would the Silver Byte be better suited to a warmer, laid back system than the MC2?

The short answer is clearly no. The MC2 is a much more natural/musical cable then its little brother, so regardless of the systems overall sonic perspective you would gain nothing and lose alot.
