In my quest to turn my PC into a high quality audio source, I just ordered a perpetual technologies P1A and Bel Canto DAC2. Right now, I am using the DAC built into my M-Audio Delta 410 sound card, and I want to axe the breakout cable and use the spdif output on the back of the card. Currently, I only have 1 homemade digital cable, but figure I should get a matched pair so that I can tell if the PT-1A reclock for low jitter helps the sound quality from the Bel Canto.
Two reasonably priced digital cables that have caught my eye are 1) DH Labs DH-75 cable (available for $60-$70) and 2) Canare LV-77S cables with Canare 75 ohm termination (available for ~$20-30 from multiple cable makers on ebay). Both seem well reviewed. The Canare makers make a big deal of using crimp connections and true 75 ohm RCA connectors. The DH-75s have a silver coated copper connector and are well reviewed for an under $100 digital IC.
Has anybody made a direct comparison of these technologies, or do you have any other suggestions for the "best cable" falling within this price range?
