    Interestingly the Eichmann plugs are about as good as it gets with regard to RCAs & SPDIF impedance matching (75 ohm), so it seems like you guys heard it.

    Well the Oyaide used the same plugs, so it must be the cable!

    Were they the same length?

    Oyaide was 1m, the Ultimate was 1.5 and yes, we discussed whether. The length was a factor!

    Interesting to read this guys, anyone can take a piece of wire and solder 2 plugs on, I don't conform to that practice as I research materials and cable geometry and trial different designs and configurations until I get something that is quite unique and punches well above it's weight, hopefully you agree with that with what you heard!

    I would have expected the 1.5m cable to sound better, I think 1m is to short for an SPDIF cable. However, the fact of the matter is that these things really do sound different.

    Yes well, the Ultimate is by far the best digi cable I've heard so far.
