I just purchased a Yulong DAH1 Mark DAC and realized that I now need a good digital coax cable (even more $$$...sigh.....). Can someone recommend a good digital coax cable that isn't going to set me back TOO much?

Thanks

Thanks, thats' a good suggestion. I actually have some HDMI cables from there. I've heard that the Blue Jeans cables are good too. I was thinking of ordering one of those. A 4 foot digital coax from them goes for about $17 plus shipping....not bad at all.

Monoprice, Blue Jeans, Signal Cable, DH Labs D-75. Even Belkin PureAV digital coax isn't that bad if u need something quick and locally.

Thanks guys. I'm leaning towards Blue Jeans. The Yulong DAH1 probably won't be here for a week, so I have to wait for it to arrive. I'm going to order a cable from Blue Jeans tonight.

Have you guys really noticed any difference in sound quality among different brands of coax?

Pick up a Zu Firemine off ebay. I got mine for $16 shipped.

Yes, but it depends on the gear involved. I've had Bluejeans type Belden coax before and preferred Stereovox or ART U-Byte for more focus to the sound and better bass.

You might also want to look at DH Labs D-75 and Supra Trico as midpriced options.

My Blue Jeans cable is supposed to be delivered on Tuesday. Not sure about the dac though. I ordered the Yulong from Wang on ebay, and it was shipped via some "EMS" company.....who knows.
