...I'm thinking I may be in the market for another brand of digital interconnect. I want that expansiveness and excitement I was enjoying but without that "digititus", if that is the correct assumption. I can use a glass interconnect which I read was good with my particular DAC, a Bel Canto 1.1, in lengths of 2 meters (Wes Phillips). Anybody been down this road? Can you offer me your experience and suggestions? I will very much appreciate it. Thank you.
Hi Jim,Though so may disagree with me I feel that digital cables fall in the same realm as analog interconnects, they can be very system dependant and some can be warm & smooth, some can be bright and edgy etc. As mentioned above look for a cable rated at 75 ohms and make sure that includes 75 ohm connectors! I bought a glass toslink cable from a vendor on audiogon, if I remember correctly he sells them for around $25-30. It works great in my theater but was a tad thin sounding in my two channel system. There are quite a few vendors out there that offer a trial period with a money back guarantee so try and stick with them that way if you're not happy all your out is shipping costs. I saw your pm so will respond to that as well. Sincerely,JohnPS-I love that 80's stuff but what you're hearing is mostly whats on the discs from that era. REALLY crappy recordings on alot of the stuff from back then.HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
And some suggestions of 75ohm cables with BNC connectors would be? Thanks, Heads, digging Three Quartets any better?I'm thinking about ya.

Jim, try to find a Stereovox HDXV cable, they were available on A'gon new/sealed for $75, don't know if the guy is still selling them though. The HDXV comes fitted with BNC's and includes the RCA adapters, which was great for me as I use BNC anyway! In my system it replaced a Pulsar cable as I heard a slightly warmer/fuller midrange.

Any thoughts on a warmer cable to reduce digitus
