Review 1 of 11
Price Paid:
$20.00
from Guitar Center Summary:
Excellent cable, super cheap. I've seen them on eBay for under $20! I bought several when I added a GW Labs DSP upsampler (this is a killer product!) between the transports and the D/A processor. Strengths:
Available in several lengths and terminations: S/PDIF coax with RCA or BNC connectors, AES/EBU balanced. High quality materials. Weaknesses:
Can be hard to find (probably because they don't have the huge profit margin that 'magic' cables have) Similar Products Used:
Various high-end and home-built

Review 2 of 11
Price Paid:
$18.00
from old audiophile Summary:
after I have used the cable for long time, recently I comparing this cable with much more expensive nordost moonglo and TMC digital,
I don't know how Apogee digital made this cable so good and so cheapo..
the cable surpased nordost and TMC especially in vocal sound..
only one strength of nordost which I like..extension of low and high frequency but overall I much enjoyed live with apogee (the apogge only surpasing by audioquest digi pro - almost 8 times price) .. happy listening
o ya... I waiting for a new illuminati D-60 next month Strengths:
musical and liquidity sound Weaknesses:
little dull top freq and little weak low freq comparing nordost Similar Products Used:
nordost, audioquest digital pro

Review 3 of 11
Price Paid:
$0.00
from E.A.R. PRO AUDIO-PHO Summary:
I''VE CHASED A COUPLE OF SO CALLED GIANT KILLER ITEMS BEFORE WITH MARGINAL RESULTS AT BEST.
BUT I''VE ALWAYS DONE IT FOR FUN,SO THAT I WOULDN''T FEEL LIKE I WASTED THE DOUGH. (IT''S A HOBBY, RIGHT?)
SO AFTER READING A FEW THINGS ABOUT THIS DIGITAL CABLE OVER THE PAST YEAR OR TWO, AND MOST RECENTLY LOOKING HERE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD TRIED IT I DECIDED TO GO GET ONE.
THAT WAS 5 1/2 HOURS AGO. I''M IN ONE OF THOSE MODES WHERE YOU''RE PULLIN OUT ALOT OF DIFFERENT DISC''S SO YOU CAN HEAR THEM WITH THIS NEW "THING" IN YOUR RIG.
RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX, THIS $36.95 (TAX INCL.)
PLAIN LOOKING CABLE SMOKED WHAT I HAD BEEN USING THAT I PAID ABOUT 5 TIMES AS MUCH FOR. I CAN''T WAIT TO HEAR WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE AFTER SOME BURN IN TIME.
I HAVE THIS RUNNING FROM MY ROTEL RCD-950 TO MY MSB NELSON LINK III (WITH P-1000 POWER BASE).
MY VON SCHWEIKERT VR-4''S ARE SINGIN IN THE BACKGROUND.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A DIGITAL CABLE AND YOUR BUDGET IS $150.00 OR LESS, YOU REALLY SHOULD CONSIDER THIS ONE.
IT WILL STAND UP TO MANY THAT SELL FOR MORE.
I BOUGHT IT FOR MESSING AROUND FUN BUT I''M GOIN TO USE IT. AND IT IS DEFINETLY THE LEAST EXPENSIVE "THING" IN MY PRESENT RIG. Strengths:
VERY BALANCED SOUND FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.
WIDE DEEP SOUNDSTAGE IN MY SYSTEM. LOTS OF DETAIL. Weaknesses:
AT IT''S RETAIL PRICE OF AROUND $45.00 MANY PEOPLE WON''T CONSIDER IT AND WILL SPEND MORE ON SOMETHING AT A LOCAL HIGHER END HOME AUDIO DEALER.
I''M NOT RECOMENDING THAT YOU DON''T, BUT IF YOU ARE NOT GOING SPEND THE MONEY TO PLAY AROUND IN THE WORLD OF CABLE ESOTERIA, I THINK THIS IS A GOOD CHOICE.

Review 4 of 11
Price Paid:
$10.00
from Guitar Center Summary:
Great cable. I guess there really is no association between price and performance with digital links.
I got the WE configured BNC-RCA, and I'm running it from my DTI Pro jitter device into my MSB Link Dac. My D60 has been relegated to feeding the DTI. (D60--overrated yes). Wyde Eye is truly 'far better than you imagined!' Strengths:
Great tonal accuracy, harmonics. Great match for MSB Link Dac, maybe other dacs? beats the D60 in my rig! Weaknesses:
Very few Similar Products Used:
Illuminations D60, Canare Digiflex, Theta Linque, others

Review 5 of 11
Price Paid:
$47.00
from Yahoo Summary:
The Monster was simply a disappointment, the Illuminati too polite and somewhat veiled, and the Kimber AGDL sounded like someone installed a treble knob ob my system and turned it all the way up! The Apogee A/D was truly balanced and allowed previously unheard detail through in believeable sound. Some people would only appreciate such a cable if Apogee charged them $1,000 for the same product! It's a mind thing! Dont waste your money, listen to real unamplified instruments (at church or concert)and try to capture that sound. Remember, if what you are looking for is better sound than the natural instrument - you may not be being true to yourself. Strengths:
Balanced, deep soundstage, belivevable palpability Weaknesses:
None yet Similar Products Used:
Kimber AGDL, Illuminati DV30, Monster Datalink 100
