Phantom Premiere and Dante

And also getting the Audioquest (Forest is lowest end) optical cables; I was planning to get el cheapo ones, so will change.

Not wishing to sway your judgement but I’m happily using el cheapo cables.

Personally, I think the important thing is the connector. I know, I know, they must be all the same otherwise it cannot be a standard. It’s the body of the connector that I found was crucial because the wrong size could interfere with the ‘locking’ mechanism. A cable could appear to have locked in but hadn’t which could cause dropouts over time. And of course, the installation is not made easy by the awkward position of the optical block.

Still, the problem with el cheapo cables is that they can vary in their connectors whereas the Forest, presumably, can be guaranteed to have the same and compatible connector.

Good luck.
