Digital Coax 1.5m - sjors.ehv - 16-Jan-2025
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a really good Digital Coax 1.5m cable to connect my both Expert 250 Pro's and to make a 1000 Pro. Can anyone advise me?
Cost no object.
I added a photo for you.
With kind regards,
Sjors Scheijvens

I am using AQ Coffee Cable which works quite fine for my 440 Pro setup.

One thing to remember, you said, you want a 1.5 meter cable but even if you want you should avoid any coax cable shorter than 1.5 meter.

Could you please elaborate on that? I've heard similar reasons for power cables (2m) but no explanation.

When I got my Devialets as monoblocks in 2016, I went COAX-to-COAX. But soon, realised that COAX-to-XLR sounded much superior.
Hence, I had Audioquest Diamond as my cable and 1.5m length. I was upgraded by Audioquest to their WILD and the improvement was very substantial. Finally, I went with their Flagship WEL Signature and it is a helluva fantastic cable.

I use WireWorld "Silver Starlight 8" (digital Koax) and additionaly the "SPDIF iPurifier2" from ifi (on slave) with his own power-supply.
Sounds in my system "better" then KOAX -> AES with ground-lift.

Haha nice - I am also using the AQ WEL Signature for connecting the monos.
This provides exceptional performance, and there is no difference when using the iFi SPDIF iPurifier2 (even power with a battery for 100% isolation).
But if you use cheaper cables, the iFi is really a good option.

I have tried a few at home. For some reason that I can't understasnd there is a difference in sound depending on the cable between the Devialets. I now run a Nordost Tyr2, and I think it's pretty good. It is rather expensive, I think, but cables are usually quite easy to find used. As always, best is to try some different cables and listen for yourself.
RE: Digital Coax 1.5m - ada - 22-Jan-2025
If there is any improvement at all that has to be related with one single channel as Devialet uses chaining port only one direction.
RE: Digital Coax 1.5m - daniel.avasilichioaei - 22-Jan-2025
The only role of this cable is to transmit digital signals (PCM audio and commands) from one amplifier to another.
Since it is a digital signal, the cable should not affect the quality of the audio sound.
