Re: Jon, your best current recipe for digital ICs

In my system, and most of those I have tried it in, the "added shield 1695A, with ceramic disc cap at the load end of the added shield sounds the best to me.

In other systems, the other two contenders, 89259 and 1506A, have their strengths and weaknesses, see these posts for more:

and for comments on how the three sound:

BTW, that is with my current best choice for digital cable RCA plug, the copper Eichmann, and second choice for digital cable RCA plug is the Canare plug.

Since having developed these, I have listened to several other raw cables wired up various ways, and still nothing beats the 1695A with the added shield and cap, it is a magical combination on most systems.
