I want to use best digital cable beetween my transport and DAC. I want use BNC connection. What do you recommend?
Follow Ups:
I've heard the Kimber Kable D-60 in the IsoMike system and I highly recommend it. Years ago I used it between the Wadia 270 and 27ix. It never fails to amaze me.
Went through this exercise some time ago and it is easy to become totally confused. There are strong arguments that cabling should only be 1.5 meters long but others refute this. And so it goes on.I eventually settled on cabling from the Aussie place listed below. The results have been very satisfying and I am very sceptical about the need to spend a small fortune on a link. Note this not saying the quality of the cabling is unimportant, merely that, IMO, there is a lot of expensive snake oil out there.

Do not criticise the idiots in this world - we need them as they make the rest of us look so much better :-)
The BNC to RCA adapter they have pictured on this site appears to be 50 ohm, not 75 ohm, at least from the center insulation...
The caption claims that 75 ohms is maintained. What makes you think it is only 50 ohms without specs on the materials used??John

The dialectric on a 75ohm BNC does not extend around the centre 'pin' in the plug. In a 50ohm connector it does.
Take a look at the Stereovox: http://www.signals-superfi.com/stereovox/xv2.htmlNew design from the original developer of the D-60.
I use one between my 47 Labs Shigaraki 4716 transport and my MHdt Laboratory Paradisea DAC. Works just fine for me although I've not done much in the way of comparisons. Let's just say I'm not compelled to "upgrade" it. If cost wasn't a consideration, I'd try an Audio Note Sogon Digital Cable.There's a review of the Stereovox XV2 at the link below FWIW.
I use an XV2 myself, but that's an example of an overly enthusiastic review. XV2 certainly is a superbly focused, resolved, and fast cable that will appeal to those who value these qualities the most (like me).However, those who prefer a quite warm, weighty, mellower sound from their digital gear will need to look elsewhere..
