The best S/PDIF cable I ever bought was a used Black Cat Silverstar 75.

I've heard a few rave reviews (from real people, who actually bought them, not magazines) about DH Labs USB cables, but not their digital coax cables I'm afraid. One guy, whose opinion I trust, rated the Silverosnic USB cable as better than his AudioQuest Carbon, and the DH Labs Mirage cable a further step up the ladder.

I didn't use to need the internet, my wife knew everything.

So many digital cables out there.
I've tried quite a few but for the last few years have settled on Ixos 105.
Every now and then a new pretender gets tried, usually due to a reccie from a friend. But the Ixos invariably sees it off.
Often available used on ebay for £15 or so. The competition is usually many multiples of that.
