AES/EBU cable - recommendations?

[GuillaumeB]

Thanks for the recommendations Gullaume, although £3k might be a bit beyond what I was thinking of spending.....

Re the Aries - I don't have one yet. Forthcoming = on order from dealer. Not sure when it will arrive, soon hopefully otherwise I will likely spend my money elsewhere I think. Regards

Best of luck with that. Otherwise I can wholeheartedly recommend the MiND 180. I spoke to Simaudio and they confirmed that DSD was on the cards although not in 2014... seems like a long wait given that some of their other products are already being made DSD compatible.

The Auralic Aries does look fantastic though and I've read one or two very positive reviews, in Chris Connaker's (the Computer Audiophile) words when reporting from Munich: "The Aries and its accompanying iOS application seriously blew me away". Did you go for the one with the improved power supply? I also like the fact that the Aries uses Linn's Openhome implementation of UPnP.

On the subject of AES/EBU cables there are lots of good cables at many price points. I've even heard good reports of the Mogami Gold AES/EBU which retails for a few hundred dollars. Like I said get a dealer to lend you a few and have some fun (and report back here of course!).
