I am going to settle in with the stock Crystal cable paired with a Hosa RCA/XLR adapter for now, and give it a little time till my ears acclimate before trying something different. I would be interested in trying the Cabledyne, but unlike their other cables, this one cannot be returned as they consider it s custom order. Looking forward yo your further thoughts later this year.
I use the Cabledyne custom cable and I find it really good, better than the stock Crystal cable with rca to xlr adapter. I have Focal Electra 1038BE speakers and the are sounding really good not to bright with this cable.
