In Reply to: Cable shootout... Are all audio cables the same? posted by robertopisa on June 10, 2014 at 08:12:33:
I did some critical listening today, and I can hear differences from the original file and the other 4 files that were obtained by feeding the original file to the DAC-cable-ADC chain.
Among the 4 cables, I cannot say there is a huge difference. On the other hand, by comparison to the original file, it seems to me that the Gotham is a bit more transparent than the others.
Please note that the cost of the cables is quite different :)
@geoffkait: The cables are XLR terminated, so there is only one direction to use since one connector is male and the other is female.
