Hi team,
For those of you using the AES/EBU input of our Devialet:
- what AES/EBU cable have you been using?
- what AES/EBU cable would you be using if money were not an issue?
Thanks.
Cheers,
Bernard

I had good results with Audience 24SX cable when I was using it with Mutec.

I'm so happy with the Audioquest Diamond AES cable that I just went and upgraded my USB cable from the AQ Carbon to the AQ Diamond. Upgrading the USB cable gave similar improvements as with the AES cable - a bigger, clearer, detailed soundstage and a more 'effortless' sound. The bass is also tighter and better controlled.

The AQ Diamond is absolutely great. For a smaller budget the AQ Coffee is also a great choice.

Very happy with the Shunyata Sigma.
I was so impressed with this cable that I started a little Shunyata shopping spree :-)

Thank you all for your inputs!
I am very heavily invested in Shunyata but at the moment only for power products. I should receive soon one of the first Omega Ethernet for the Raat path.
Waiting for them to release an Omega AES/EBU is of course an option. Or going to Chord Sarum T or even ChordMusic is tempting too.
Audioquest is obviously a popular option too.
Cheers,
Bernard
