Hi Dan, I actually received the latest batch of SDC cables yesterday along with the new Alpha SPDIF.
I wasn't that happy with the last batch of SDC prototype cables as I felt my Transparent Ref XL easily outclassed them.
The question then arose of which connection was best, RCA/AES or RCA/RCA?
I know it is conventional wisdom in these parts that the hybrid chain is best however some of my observations seem to challenge this.
I hope to have a better view in the coming days.
