I'd been planning on buying the Monster I400MKIISACD 2M for $100 online, but I've seen a bunch of not-so-great reviews of them here & elsewhere.

My budget is $100 for some SACD/DVD-A cable(s). Any suggestions?

Thanks much.

First of all, understand that there is nothing fundamentally different about a cable for a SACD or DVD-A source. Marketing goes a long way here. While I have some Monster cables, I think you can do better for the investment elsewhere.

For that budget, I prefer the DH Labs BL-1 interconnects for their clarity and blackness.

Those are priced in pairs/$100, & I would need 3 pairs for the 6 channel SACD signal. $300 is a little much right now.

Sorry - wasn't thinking multichannel SACD.

How about Dayton Audio? Here's a 5-pack deal so you'll have an extra two cables and it's still well below your budget:
