DH Labs Silver Sonic D-110 AES/EBU: $145/1m
(NR, but see EL's review of the Bel Canto DAC3.5VB in Vol.34 No.6 WWW) Kimber Kable Orchid: $948/1m
Expensive, but the best AES/EBU link JA has used. J-10 loved the Orchid's midrange liquidity and detail, but preferred Illumination's S/PDIF cable overall. SD (almost) doesn't equivocate: "Probably the best out there for now. . . .A stunner!" RH and RD are also fans. New lower price usefully brings this cable in reach of more music lovers. (Vol.19 No.5) Kubala-Sosna Expression: $900/m, $240/additional meter
A KR favorite. See "Loudspeaker Cables." (Vol.29 No.7 WWW) Revelation Audio Labs Prophecy CryoSilver Reference DualConduit USB 2.0 Digital Link Cable: $799/1.25m
KR first became acquainted with Revelation Audio Labs' USB cables when a set was supplied with his Baetis Prodigy-X server. He was especially intrigued by the build quality of RAL's DualConduit design, in which dual Type A USB plugs converge in a single Type B USB plug, with one lead for signal and the other for the 5V USB power. The RAL DualConduit remains a KR reference in various computer-audio settings. (Vol.41 No.3 WWW)
