Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Are you going to use your Arcam Diva CD92 as a transport?




If so, I see that it has an optical, as well as a coax out.

When I ordered my Geshelli J2 DAC, I already had a 1.5M length of the Blue Jeans BJC which E-Stat has graciously offered you, so I used that at first. But I became curious about the Lifatec glass Toslink cable (link below), after reading so many positive comments about it on the Asylum and elsewhere. It was an improvement over the BJC in my system of a Cambridge Audio CXC transport and the aforementioned Geshelli J2.

I'm no cable expert, but I believe that the impedance issue length requirement doesn't apply to optical the way it does with the S/PDIF, which means you could buy only the length you need. A 20" length is $129 so not crazy 'audiophile' prices.

I was skeptical, but the Lifatec offered a 30-day return policy, and as soon as I compared it to the BJC, I knew I was going to keep it.
