First off, from the very start right out of the box, I did not hear any brightness or glare. Instead the sound was captivating & smooth which really surprised me. After the initial 48hrs, things smoothen out more. After the 2 weeks break-in period, I have a digital cable that is very serious in it's presentation. Some of my friends who heard the cable were surprised at how well it played against some of the more expensive cables out there and at times being better.

UDC-S cable's bass is deep, controlled, fast with slam, punch & authority. Midbass is bodied & weighty with just the right amount, not overbearing and does not in any way hinder the upper mids & highs. The upper mids & highs are very smooth, sweet, detailed & accurate. Infact it is so accurate that we could hear more of what was in the recording. The UDC-S has great ability to dig down deep into the recording and give the listener everything that is in the recording.

I also found ELCO UDC-S cable to be warm sounding without loosing any detail. Although it is fast, accurate & punchy, it also has a sense of naturalness & relaxness to it without any fatigue. This is something which I've not experience before from some other cables and due to this fact, it makes the system very silent & quite plus it played well with a variety of dacs or transports both in tube and solid state systems.

To be honest, at first I was a bit skeptical about all this gold or gold plated stuff but after taking the chance, I'm real happy I did. I now have a cable that I'm very happy with.

Happy listening to all!
