The following review of the Supreme HDMI MKII cable is the result of the "Ricable " initiative. Ricable is a program created by Ricable to gather feedback from audiophilesin order to continuously improve the products in its catalog. Last but not least, those who join the program receive a certificate at home, attesting that the customer has become a full member of the " Ricablefamily."
The following feedback was based on a predefined questionnaire to which the user responded with their impressions, in a completely freely. We thank Ciro for his time.
After researching the best interconnect for my source and DAC, I decided to switch from an RCA cable (a very good one) to an I²S cable. After further research in specialized blogs and internet reviews, I listed some cables with good reviews. The Ricable cable was one of them. I took a deep dive into the short list and eventually decided to buy the Supreme MKII.
and aesthetics of the product?
Il cavo sembra molto robusto. Non mi interessa l'estetica, ma piuttosto la qualità del suono "fornita" dal cavo.
Ho selezionato 4-5 brani. Il confronto era di tipo A contro B. Il mio cavo RCA contro il cavo I²S Supreme.
listening impressions?
I am still in the "burn-in" phase of the Supreme cable, but "first impressions" are already very good. I consider my RCA cable a very good one (being the third upgrade for this interconnect cable). After only a few hours of burn-in and running a quick comparison, it was evident to me that the Supreme cable sounded better, with more detail, a "cleaner," deeper, and wider soundstage. It was a little bit more "analytical" than the RCA, but overall better than the RCA. A few more hours of burn-in and I believe Supreme will improve...
Your conclusions.
Nel mondo degli audiofili, è difficile aggiornare qualsiasi componente senza prima ascoltarlo. Essendo in Brasile, ascoltarlo prima non era fattibile... Quindi ho "corso il rischio"... e fortunatamente sono MOLTO soddisfatto del cavo Ricable !!! Per chi ha una configurazione audio compatibile con un interconnettore I²S, Ricable un'ottima scelta!

After searching for the best INTERCONNECT cable INTERCONNECT my source and my DAC, I decided to switch from an RCA cable (an excellent cable) to an I²S cable. After further research on "specialized blogs" and online reviewers, I listed some cables with good reviews. The Ricable cable was one of them. I did a thorough analysis of my "shortlist" and ultimately decided to purchase the Supreme MKII.
and aesthetics of the product?
The cable seems very sturdy. I'm not interested in aesthetics, but rather in the sound quality "provided" by the cable.
I selected four or five tracks. The comparison was between A and B. My RCA cable compared to the I²S Supreme cable.
listening impressions?
I am still in the "break-in" phase of the Supreme cable, but my "first impressions" are already very good. I consider my RCA cable to be very good (this being the third upgrade for this interconnect cable). After just a few hours of break-in and a quick comparison, it was clear to me that the Supreme cable sounded better, with more detail and a "cleaner," deeper, and wider soundstage. It was a little more "analytical" than the RCA, but better overall. A few more hours of break-in and I think the Supreme will improve...
Your conclusions.
In the "audiophile world," it is difficult to upgrade any component without listening to it first. Being in Brazil, listening first was not feasible... So I took a "risk"... and fortunately, I am VERY satisfied with the Ricable cable!!! For those who have an audio setup compatible with an I²S interconnect cable, Ricable an excellent, excellent choice!
