I discovered something just tonite swapping out digital interconnects and would like to know if others have ever heard this and who might have a suggestion or two. I have used Canare cable for a very long time but decided to try out a cable from an outfit called Signal Cable along with a high current power cord from them. Read a review, you know. At first it sounded a little quicker with finer resolution. I suspected it that it might be just jacking up the high end but it did sound as tho there was more extention along with resolution and it is more exciting. Then, in November, I had my ears irrigated. I can now hear high frequency info that was all but missing before. But, then, over time, I began to hear a bit of an icy, sort of a metallic coating on some transients and higher notes on mostly redbook CD's from the 80's but not limited to that time that are flat out offensive. So, I put back in the Canare for comparison and, guess what, I'm hearing appreciably less of this. The sound is a bit duller and a bit less expansive but that doo-doo is much less in evidence. So, 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.
