in 2 Channel Audio
I need a COAX cable to go between a Chord Chordette DAC and a Primaluna CD player. Any opinions on a decently priced cable? This is a digital cable, right, so the sound shouldn't be chaged with a decent cable, right?

Any recommendations?

    Creative Cable Concepts "Green Hornet" worked very well for me in my setup between my Sonos & my DAC.
    Audio: Polk S15 * Polk S35 * Polk S10 * SVS SB-1000 Pro
    HT: Samsung QN90B * Marantz NR1510 * Panasonic DMP-BDT220 * Roku Ultra LT * APC H10

    i have heard the debate on coaxial cables changing the sound.. i am not 100% sure if they do or not.. i know i had 2 brands of coax at one time but cant remember if i heard a difference or not.. been a while since i have used one.

    personally im liking my audio quest cables so i would probably get a forest or cinnamon coaxial cable from them..

    Wireworld starlight 7, good cable on the cheap.
    Signal cable silver resolution is no slouch either for the money.

    They matter. Try to find the fabled Black Cat Velour on the used market. It will expand your sonic horizons beyond time and space my friend.

    I like it over the AQ VDM 3 I was running for a long time. I know cables don't matter but the bass seems a bit tighter and everything a bit more focused. I think it stays for awhile....

    I can't say that I have a great lot to compare it to, but the Black Cat is the best of what I've tried. Very nice cable.
