Boomslang Digital - spdif BNC/BNC
That Boomslang sounds fantastic. More lifelike, closer to what I imagine the original sound. I had a very good cable coming from my CD transplant (Jay's Audio CDT2 Mk3), and it sounded pretty darn good. I just thought I could get more out of it. I'd read a review of Boomslang a few years ago on AudioBacon, and finally decided to give it a try.
Really glad I did. I threw on some Tom Waits, Talking Heads and Mahler's 2nd Symphony. They all sounded improved, more like I imagine live, as I said. The Mahler is a very good recording, but seemed a little congested before, as happens with a lot orchestras. Now, it's much better. I can hear more of the individual instruments.
I brought my wife in. She has sung in choirs and small groups much of her life. She's also deaf in one ear. So, she actually has a good ear. She went with some Sade and Lady Blackbird. Interrupted me (so rare...) asking her thoughts, to say, "It does sound better." Went on to listen to the whole albums, even more rare.
Go Boomslang. O.K., it's also beautiful and has a cool name.
