The Neotech is my clock cable. It is a pure silver 75 ohm cable and I am pretty surprised with the results considering its price. It retains the open and uncolored sound I like.
The Acrolink is a 110ohm AES cable from Mutec 3+ USB to Devialet master.
I use the same RCA variant for the link between master and slave, connecting to the slave via AES input using RCA to AES adapter. In this way, I have the same cable type for AES input and link cable.

Thanks for the info. I had the same Neotech cable terminated with RCA plugs and wanted to DIY a clock cable from it but it didn't perform too well as a digital cable (I used my Oppo UDP-203 and the Devialet to test), so I sold it.
I have clock cables the Oyaide FTVS-510 and the Oyaide NEO AS808R both DIY terminated to BNC and kept very short. I also have a factory BNC Oyaide DB-510 (same FTVS conductor). I need two clock cables as one goes into the SOtM SMS-200 ultra.
I am still not sure which cable is better but for now I think the copper one which has air insulation sounds more dynamic. I wish I could try the Habst that Mutec recommends.
Acoustic Revive AES/EBU between MC3 and the Devialet and a hybrid cable between the two Devialets which I will detail in the thread that has been dealing with this question.
