My tests with digital coax provided much the same results as posted by Ferdinand. The Purist was the winner in every test, and I had both the RCA and balanced versions. The tests between the two versions of the Purist resulted in the single ended edging out the balanced. That result could easily reverse, even with the same two pieces of Purist, auditioned in another high end system. In response to Timo, I have to agree with Redkiwi on the Canare. I understand the desire for inexpensive digital coax, but if you must go that route, try the (professional) Belden precision video cable, version 5881. It is only $1.00 a foot and beats the Canare and even some of the brand name wire. The other factor here on do it yourself coax is the quality of the connector, the type and brand of solder and the quality of your assembly. It can literally reverse the results between two wires!
Digital Coaxial Cable 75 ohms choices
Hi, Can someone recommend a fairly priced, good performance digital cable (rca to rca) for connection with my Altis CD Transport to my Forsell D/A Convertor. Some of my choices are: Illuminati D60, Ensembled DigiFlux, Transparent Premium Digital Cable. Perhaps someone can give me other ideas.
