They also make an S/PDIF>AES hybrid cable which is featured a bit lower down the page.
Prices seem very reasonable, their top of the range S/PDIF cable is 300 euros.
Quoting from jalucine's post on the Forum Audiophile (http://www.forum-audiophile.fr/amplis/de...-2595.html)
"En conclusion, ce câble fait faire un progrès significatif au système. La transparence, la résolution, l’image sonore, la qualité des timbres, la musicalité globalement."
Translation: In conclusion this cable had a major impact on the system: greater transparency, better resolution, improved imaging and timbres and overall musicality.
Interestingly this is exactly how I would have described the improvement from my TA XL S/PDIF. Except that my cable cost me over £3k!!!!
Once again if you haven't tried other cables linking your two units you really owe it to yourself to have a play... (obviously I'm not aiming this comment at the cable sceptics on this forum!). In my system is was a very big improvement.

Not being fluent in French can you tell us which configuration they found worked best? the RCA/RCA or the RCA/AES EBU?
Thanks

Hi Kerry it seems as though many of the French Devialet owners really like the Audioprana hybrid cable, so RCA/AES. I've not tried it myself but I believe Confused on here has one.

Hi Guillaume
What are you using to link your 800s? What are you using for a USB cable?
Thanks
Kerry

I use a Transparent Ref XL SPDIF between Master and Companion. I don't actually use a USB cable; my totaldac d1 server is connected to Master via AES/EBU.

Hi!
Just about to pull the trigger on the Audioprana link cable: 1.50m Ag occ cryo RCA Ag(*) cryo/XLR NEUTRIK HE(*) cryo 75->110 Ohms
Concerning the length, I´m ordering 1.5 meter length, that should not be a problem soundwise should it?

Full details of buying the Audioprana cable are included in this very thread! You just need to read from about post #199, or earlier, if you want more background information.
Thanks Confused! Post #202 is what I was looking for

What cable are you using now for the link?

Aren't you happy with that RCA-to-XLR adapter followed by an AES/EBU cable?
