With the aurender n10 connected to a wadia 521 and many other dacs i now find that coax and aes ebu are much closer to each other in sound than i have heard before.
Aes ebu digital cable review.
This is my personal home system and lately it has been in a constant state of flux as it evolves.
The good thing is that the differences in cables are a little less clear with aes ebu than they are with spdif and even very standard cables can do very well.
Aes ebu can be single ended balanced or optical this cable is a balanced digital interconnect.
Audioquest cables and other audio products combine solid conductors high purity metals specialized geometries and stable dielectrics to enable naturally beautiful sounds and images.
For system 1 below i only needed speaker cables power cords and aes ebu digital cables.
Aes ebu developed by the audio engineering society and the european broadcast union are the two channel digital standard for interconnecting digital devices.
And while aes eb cables may look like ordinary microphone cables they are very different.
Though there are many options i prefer an aes ebu digital cable connection between the digital hybrid devialet 1000 pro integrated amplifier.
Aes ebu is more suitable for longer cable runs than coaxial connections and so it s less susceptible to common mode high frequency crap that s why recording studios use aes ebu digital cables.
As the m50 2 has a balanced aes ebu output and the directstream an aes ebu input a homemade balanced digital interconnect resurrected from a decade or so earlier was pressed into service.
Cardas clear digital aes ebu employs a perfectly symmetrical tri axial geometry by using air tubes to separate and suspend our ptfe taped matched propagation conductors.
