Cardas Neutral Reference Digital 0.5 meter RCA S/PDIF cable

Posted by Welly Wu on March 19, 2012 at 09:06:56:
First of all, thank you for reading and posting a reply to my message. Here is my audio system:
Resolution Audio Opus 21 CD Player, Power Centre, Extra Sources, and S30 Power Amplifier
Ray Samuels Audio Emmeline HR-2 headphone amplifier
Sennheiser HD-650 headphones
Balanced Power Technology BP.Jr II Ultra with Signature Upgrades
Cardas Golden Reference Power cords, Interconnect, headphone replacement cable for Sennheiser HD-650
Custom Balanced Power Technology 9 gauge Litz power cord
Audioquest Cinnamon 1.5 meter USB cable
My Resolution Audio Opus 21 Extra Sources box connects to the DAC built into the CD Player transport box using a S/PDIF coaxial 75 Ohm cable. I am using a Blue Jeans Cable Digital S/PDIF 1.0 meter cable right now. I am interested in getting the Cardas Neutral Reference Digital 0.5 meter RCA terminated S/PDIF cable to replace the Blue Jeans Cable Digital. I know and love the Cardas house sound very much and I think that I will stand to benefit from this upgrade quite nicely. The Blue Jeans Cable is the weak link in my audio system and it needs to be replaced with a much higher quality S/PDIF coaxial digital cable. I can get a new Cardas Neutral Reference Digital 0.5 meter RCA terminated S/PDIF cable from Audio Connection in Verona, New Jersey for a fifteen percent discount less than the MSRP if I pay in cash for a local pickup. I hope to have the available funds this Sunday evening. I had the Cardas Neutral Reference Interconnects connected between my Resolution Audio Opus 21 music system and my Ray Samuels Emmeline HR-2 headphone amplifier many years ago so I know what kind of sound to expect. I have since upgraded to the Cardas Golden Reference power cords and interconnects many years ago. It was the right upgrade for my system.
I would like to solicit opinions on my soon to be made purchase of the Cardas Neutral Reference Digital 0.5 meter RCA terminated S/PDIF cable. If you have this specific cable regardless of length, then please share with the community what is your audio system setup and how you like this cable. Thank you.
