Transparent Reference 75-Ohm Digital Link

[thesaint519]

It's been a long time since I needed a 75-Ohm digital link. Last I used one, it was Kimber's venerable Illuminati D-60. Has anyone had any experience with Transparent's Reference digital cables? What is the current state of the art digital cable? How does TA Ref fair?

I've had the TA Reference Digital Audio. It's the best digital cable I've ever had.
I've had Audioquest and Tara Labs as comparisons.


It took my digital signal to a new level of clarity and performance.


Hope this helps.

I have nothing to compare to but I can recommend Transparent Reference digital cables. I own the latest iteration of their AES Ref digital cable (the one in the red sleeve). In the past few months, they have expanded the line to include a ref XL cable (dressed in blue sleeve). They are very proud of the blue cable as evident by the list price.

I have a few of them. However, I must admit that I can't hear any difference with premium/name brand digital cables. I have tried...and failed.

I have heard differences with speaker cables, but nothing else. Never tried a power cord...

Sorry, let me re-phrase. I have tried the reference ones, didn't hear a difference, and subsequently purchased TA's basic digital cables, just because they are "nicer quality" than cheapo no-name brands.

Thanks for your input.
