You seem to have become mistaken (again) about what I said regarding digital cables. It is not merely an assertion; it's a statement that what you are claiming contradicts logic. I've explained this in numerous ways in my other posts -- several times in this thread, too, IIRC -- so I won't repeat them here. The short version is that random corruption of digitized waveform information cannot cause the differences you claim to have heard, namely "[cramped soundstage]," "compressed," and "bass heavy." I'm not saying that it's unlikely, or that you need to provide proof, but that it's impossible. You are free to post these "experiences" as much as you like, within the current forum rules, but I am also free to point out that it is false information. You are welcome to continue this elsewhere (via PM or a new thread in the appropriate forum), unless you wish to take it in a direction that's more on-topic.

I have several dacs and awhile back I tried some Blue Jeans digital coax cables. With all the newer jitter rejection technology, improved clocks etc... I didnt expect some vast difference between cables. Furthermore, with all the assertions cables make no difference I constantly read However, the Enigma Audio coax cable I generally use was definitely better. Better how? Well, the BJ cable made the soundstage cramped and the sound as a whole was compressed and bass heavy. This difference was evident on three diffferent transports (Sacdmods Sony 555ES/9100ES and Eastsound E5) using three different type of dacs ( Zap filter analog output stage modded Zhalou 2.0c/ 2.5c and Opus). The difference between the two cables was the difference between totally enjoying the sound with the Enigma Audio and being bothered by the sound quality flaws with the BJ. I gave the BJ cables away. Maybe there was some other reason but the digital coax cable was the only change. I almost dont want to post this but that is my experience. I didnt even need to look to know what cable was connected. I knew immediately once the music played for a short period of time .... and a quick check would confirm I was correct. |
