I would still recommend an Oyaide DB-510 BNC connector digital cable. However, the VH Audio Pulsar Ag and Pulsar Cu II are also big favorites. What might you be seeking from sonic POV, mitch2?

Ok, good question.
All my gear is set and sounds great.
I have two choices from the Antipodes to my DAC - S/PDIF and USB
USB through Totaldac USB cable into W4S Recovery into Curious link to DAC sounds very good.
S/PDIF was a recent add to Antipodes as part of an upgrade and trying it I found an interestingly organic warm sound but a trade-off of sorts on resolution vs. the USB set-up described above.
So, maybe a silver cable like the Oyaide would improve resolution through S/PDIF but whatever cable is used I don't want to lose the midrange texture, clarity, tonal richness and full powerful bass I get from high powered Class A amplification.
I do like that the cable you recommended is a larger (18awg) gauge conductor.
What would be the trade-offs between the Oyaide and the VHA Pulser Ag, or Cu?
Thanks
I find both VH Audio cables present a more relaxed gestalt with different flavors, while the Oyaide 510 is more assertive in comparison. Midrange texture and presence is more upfront via the Oyaide cable.
Thank you Duster
Hi,
I second Duster's opinion on the Pulsar Cable (older version in my case)... I even used it as an internal SPDIF cable from the reclocker pcb to coax socket inside my old Theta cd transport with great results.. It replaced the plain stock cable inside the Theta.
For BNC connectors, be sure they are true 75 Ohms. Best bets are Vampire or Furutech for DIY.
Regards..
