In Reply to: Re: Ack!Industries dAck! Comparison with other DAC's posted by tommytube on September 03, 2003 at 21:40:29:
Tommy,Like your brother I'm in the queue with Chris for a demo unit. Hoping for mid-September shipment.
I had no idea Chris was playing with S/PDIF interconnects. As this will be my first DAC I went out and got a Belden 1695A based digital IC with Canare crimp RCAs. I'll be using some HomeGrownAudio Super Silver ICs between the DAC and preamp. *Hopefully these will both compliment Chris' DAC.* I noted that he isn't a big fan of copper like Belden 89259 for regular ICs, preferring silver laced numbers instead.My vintage Philips CDC-935 will see duty as my transport -:)

There's no one answer on interconnects. Besides the dAck, the rest of your system also plays into it as well. I'm using an old pair of XLO Signature 1's from about 10 years ago and Chris couldn't believe I liked them. For me they are fast, very detailed and quite dynamic. I'm also using the Kimber KCAG digital IC. I tried a couple brands of digital IC and the Kimber was the best I had. Although I'm sure other choices are equally good or even better. Awhile back someone recommended DH Labs digital cables for around $50 a pair, they might be interesting to try. It's funny when the total price of my dAck interconnects are more expensive than the actual dAck.
