I'm NOT an audiophile persè. However, I do like music reproduction from gear that I can afford. My speakers are DIY, all other gear are unmodified originally designed and only "tweaked" withers the usual spikes, cones and anti-vibrational materials. That being said, I do hear differences in quality cabling, be it power, speaker or interconnects. What I do not understand is a cable other than Toslink fiberoptic between transport and Dac, or Dac to amp/preamp. Why introduce a digital link that cans to carry the signal through a medium other than light? I've not ever read a comparison of optical links! If there is any loss of signal from this medium truly the word "negligible" applies here. All things having their own sonic signature are we not tailoring our playback by the coloration rather than purity of signal?
Well, even optical cables sound different. Try a Mapleshade vs a generic. Every cable will have some kind of color - no matter what. And that could be the difference between something you enjoy and something you think it's good or OK. Digital interfaces are also very different. So even if the signal were pure, it'll depend on the D/A implementation. For example, the optical input of the Denafrips Terminator sounds inferior to USB. Not to mention you can't send DSD or 384/24 PCM signals.
I have a set of Sarum T XLR cables I am auditioning and I have to say they are absolutely stunning. I am just gutted because they are so God damn expensive but they really are very, very good. Chord unfortunately charge a pretty penny, like Audioquest and have to maintain their marketing costs somehow which always turns my stomach and has me looking elsewhere but as much as it annoys me to say it, I am a tad smitten with these cables. I want to demo some Habst so I'm hoping these will impress me just as much and for a considerably more palatable price
