Well, I'm moving fast on this, and it looks like I'll have a few different cables to try...
So far, I've ordered:
1.5 meter Belden 1694A w/Canare RCAs, from Blue Jeans Cable (they're local)
1.5 meter of Canare terminated "home brew" digital cable from Rob Fritz's "assembly tech" person at Audio Art cables
I've also ordered a Belkin Gold USB cable (the one I found was 6 feet - I hope that's not too long).
I've been told about the DH labs "Silver Sonic" USB cable ($80 for 1.5 meters), so if I do end up using this DAC for the computer system (in which case I'd order another Bifrost, without USB input, for my main stereo), do you think I might suffer too much "diminishing return" with the DH Labs cable? (see link to this cable, below). Or, might it get me to that last 5-10%? :)
Thanks again!
