I need a 9ft digital coax and short (1/2 to 1m) digital optical cable. I really don't want to spend that much, but also don't want to sacrifice too much quality either.
The 9ft coax would connect my Pioneer dv47a to my cary 303/200 CDP. I don't know if I'll use the Pioneer much as a transport, but it would be a nice option to have.

The digital optic able would connect the Pioneer 47a to my Denon 4800 receiver for my movie sound. Right now I'm using a Better Cables Silver Serpent digital coax. I want a cheap digital optic to replace it, but don't want to sacrifice sound quality.

I think I'll go with Blue Jeans cable for the coax. It seems that people are happy with it and it only costs around $17. Any recommendations for a digital optical? Under $20 would be nice, but that's flexible.  Any other cheap coax ideas?

Thanks

The Better cables OPTICAL is very good...it is GLASS, not plastic and I like mine just fine.  It is also very reasonably priced.

I see Heartland cables offers Eichman Bullets for the digital coax.  Are they worth an extra $10 over the Canare RCAP?

I would get the Bullets for $10 more, but then again I went up to the Silver WBT's @$50 each.

Connectors make a difference based on a recent experiment I did with Bolder digital cables using Canare, Eichman Silver, WBT Nextgen copper, and WBT Nextgen silver connectors

The Audience Conductor SPDIF is an excellent cable for the money.

I use a 5M AES run in my system and it works great.

I like the Heartland with the bullets also, an excellent cable reasonably priced that uses great parts. Check out the Sterovox HDVX also.

I just noticed that the Heartland cables use Canare L-5CFB.  I was thinking it was Belden 1694 for some reason.  Does anyone have an opinion on the Canare vs. Belden cables?
