The Cable Company told me just today that the blue jeans digital coaxial cable that I have between my streamer and dac is the weakest link in my system. Well, that and stock power cords. Didn’t realize blue jeans was that bad! He said that I haven’t really heard my system so now I am intrigued but as an owner of a new Schiit Freya tube preamp, I am also want to invest in NOS tubes vs. using stock JJs. So, I have to choose whether to invest funds in tubes or getting a new digital coaxial cable. Btw, I am in line for the Rachael but don’t expect to get it before Thanksgiving this year. So, I am tiptoeing my way in to the world of tubes right now and want to immerse myself further and this additional expense of investing in a better digital cable is really distracting. Should also mention that I am fairly new to the 2-channel scene. 12 months ago, I didn’t have any speakers nor did I know what a DAC was. Started buying stuff for my Home Theater setup thinking 95% movies and 5% music, but when I started listening to music on my Denon AVR, I was hooked and started investing more, including an integrated amp (Rega Brio), a streamer (Bluesound Node 2i), a DAC (Denafrips Ares II), a Proj-Jet Debut Carbon Evo TT (and Schiit Mani phonostage) and as of 3 weeks ago, sporting a Schiit Freya Plus preamp feeing Aegir monoblocks. Quite a journey in 12 months but its been one helluva ride!
