I have an expensive (bought it used so not so expensive for me) solid silver coax sp/dif cable from my CD player to my DAC. I think it sounds great and I also think my friends, when I show them that cable, should be more enthusiastic and appreciative of it. But no, they just don't seem to care and also seem to prefer I not yammer about this stuff.
Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.
Almost all the audio equipment including speaker need burn in time.
But I had bad experience with one digital cable recently.
Some people blew the horn on it and claimed burn in time more than 100 hours.
Out of box it had lot of details but etched.
After 8 weeks (around 200 hours) it got little bit better but its overall performance is not better than other digital cable that I have had.
Now it is too late to return it.
Beware of any cable claiming more than 50 hours of burn in time.
The chance is high that you will waste your time and money.

wolf_garcia4,612 posts @ wolf_garcia Does it have arrows, or some type of designation, for direction? I have yet to run across a solid core center conductor coax digital cable that is not directional. Even manufactured digital S/PDIF cables where the manufacturer says his cable/s is not directional. Especially a silver center conductor coaxial digital cable. One direction will sound better than the other be it copper or silver. Jim . |
