Is anyone here using a Tubulus Argentus I2S cable?

I would be curious to hear what people have compared that with. I am pretty happy with the After Dark Clay Giseman I2S cable, wish they had a half meter or less however.

So far, the best I2S cable I've tried is the Blue Jeans FE, but the rest of my system is ready to push the boat out on the best I2S 0.5m cable I can find for reasonable money.

Today arrived this cable for connect X26PRO with U18 by i2S ports, it seem sound very good!!

I have an AVPlay HD-300 and didn't like it.

I agree it sounds very good. Until you compare it to the blue jeans cable. AV nicer to look at. Blue jeans nicer to listen to

Which cables have you tried if I may ask? I found that to be surprisingly true with Blue Jeans network cable as well Run their Cat 5, sounded better than DH labs best and Mad Scientest Network Cable and it was a substantially longer length to boot!

So far, I've tried AVPlay HD-300, Supra HDMI, Clearer Audio Silver-line and the Blue Jeans FE that I use currently.

Do you use a U16 or a U18?

U18

Hi. I am currently using x26pro and topping a90d mostly to drive high to mid tier IEMs. I am interested in adding u18 to this chain but wondering if DDC also benefits my use case as well. I assume it could be a good addition for speaker settings but would it be the same for IEMs?

 

[Getafix]

Mutec MC3+ USB is at the moment more than double the price of U18, so whatever they announce in December will likely be triple.

Well the BJC is so cheap it's worth doing just to see, if it's better oh well a bit of the emperor's new clothes, if not it cost you almost nothing to find out out just how close it gets. After dark makes quite a fuss on one thread and on their site about how the Giseman MkII I2S is built. But the proof is in the pudding/listening.

happy listening,

Before I bought the AV cable, Martin told me the Blue Jeans cable I already had was better. I didn't doubt him but for $45 shipped from a fine forum member here I felt I had nothing to lose (except $45) I have gone back and forth two or three times, trying to love the AV cable more. It's such high quality and so pretty. I know the $12.75 blue jeans couldn't possibly sound better. Except it does. Again, not saying the AV sounds bad, just that the blue jeans sounds better
