I got a Supra X-ZAC and it does seem to sound better than the
"cheapie" Toslink cable that came with my Meridian DAC.


What improvement(s) did you notice?



Hi Wally,

Mainly an improvement in high frequency "quality". The cheapie cable that
came with the DAC sounded too "edgy" and a little "bass shy".

By comparison, the X-ZAC sounds a bit sweeter (less edgy, less sibilant) and
hence the sound balance has, to me at least, shifted more towards the
neutral balance that I was looking to achieve.
