In this AVShowrooms video taken at the 2013 Rocky Mountain Audiofest, Dana Robbins gave a live demonstration of the efficacy of his speaker cables.
As part of the demo, Dana discussed what is damping factor, why it matters in your audio system, why Danacable cables perform the way they do, resulting in the best sound you can get out of your audio system. “Danacable speaker cables are like having no cables at all.”
Danacable’s Lazuli Voila 2 is on headphone.guru’s 2025 award list as Price-No-Object Accessory of the Year.
“I fully endorse the Danacable Lazuli™ Voilà II Headphone Cable and would recommend it to any SUSVARA owner, more so to those with the SUSVARA UNVEILED, as they are more capable of showing the shortcomings of the audio supply chain.”
– Gary Alan Barker, headphone.guru, May 2025
Danacable is introducing the latest addition to its “voiced” cable line-up: Designed for the Hifiman Susvara OG as well as the Susvara Unveiled, the Lazuli Voilà 2 is crafted with separate left and right channels from the ear cups to the amp end to yield an even more expansive and pinpointed soundstage than the Voilà. For the introductory period until July 31, a standard 2m Lazuli Voila 2, MSRP $5495, will be priced at $4995. Read Gary Alan Barker’s review on Headphone.guru.
Danacable’s new line of universal headphone cable, the Lazuli Symphony, also features separate left and right channels from the ear cups to the amp end for a more expansive and pinpointed soundstage, compared to the Lazuli Nirvana.

Handcrafted in the USA using copper and silver wires in a variety of sheathing options, Danacable’s Lazuli™ cables have long been known among headphone lovers as the go-to cables for many popular headphone models.
Danacable’s new line of “voiced” Lazuli™ cables is custom designed to bring out the best in each “top of the line” (TOTL) headphone while retaining its sound signature. We introduced the Lazuli Voilà for the Hifiman Susvara at the NYC Canjam in March 2024, followed by the Lazuli Vocalise for the Abyss 1266 and the Lazuli Poème for the Focal 2022 Utopia in September, and finally, the Lazuli Rêve for the Audeze LCD-5 in October. In June of this year, we added the Lazuli Voilà 2, “voiced” for the HifiMan Susvara Unveiled and Susvara Original.
The combination of a TOTL headphone and the matching Lazuli “voiced” cable, driven by a powerful amplifier such as the DanaTone™ Head Space™, a reference-level DAC, and quality interconnect and power cables can be the last headphone setup one needs to own.
Read Gary Alan Barker’s review of the Lazuli™ Voilà in the March 2024 issue of Headphone.guru:
“….definitely raises the bar for the HIFIMAN SUSVARA, from what you would expect from a $6,000 headphone to what you expect from a price-is-no-object headphone, competing favorably with the best in electrostatic headphones.”
“As advertised, the Lazuli Voilà opens up the SUSVARA for use with any genre of music without compromising the performance with the genres it was designed for, moving the SUSVARA from the category of a great headphone to that of a spectacular headphone.”
Read Gary Alan Barker’s review of the Lazuli™ Voilà 2 in the May 2024 issue of Headphone.guru:
“The phase linearity and current capacity of the Voilà II bring the SUSVARA to a whole new level of performance, especially when it comes to the low frequencies where control is so difficult… I fully endorse the Danacable Lazuli™ Voilà II Headphone Cable and would recommend it to any SUSVARA owner, more so to those with the SUSVARA UNVEILED, as they are more capable of showing the shortcomings of the audio supply chain.”
Read Peter Pialis’s review of the Lazuli™ Vocalise in the September 2024 issue of Headphone.guru:
“This cable is able to simply bring the best from these world-class headphones and if you simply want the best, then look no further than the Dana Cables Lazuli Vocalise for the Abyss AB1266 Phi TC! Everything across the board was improved, from a more forward and earthy mid-range to more treble detail without any sense of stridency and improved sound staging, you really can have it all”
Here is a YouTube video review of the Lazuli Poème by Wave Theory.
Read Gary Alan Barker’s review of the Lazuli™ Rêve in the September 2024 issue of Headphone.guru:
“We are not talking about a change in tonal balance, or the basic sonic characteristics of the LCD-5, but just more of everything, more detail, more dynamics, more tonality, more soundstage, and significantly tighter bass (not less bass, faster bass, more controlled).”
“All in all, I consider the Danacable Lazuli Rêve Headphone Cable a sound investment and well worth consideration, two thumbs up.”
To coincide with the launching of the Lazuli™ Vocalise, Danacable is offering headphone stands, at $149 each, while supplies last.
These limited edition headphone stands are made from solid hardwood and finished in durable satin lacquer. They are currently available in walnut, mahogany, light mahogany, maple, and red. The headband support pad, hand-wrapped in leather, can accommodate most headband curves. Inside the support pad is a thin metal plate that can be slightly bent to provide more or less curve. The base of the stand has three points of contact with non-slip rubber feet to provide stability.
Our Lazuli Rhapsody receives Headphone.guru’s 2023 Cable of The Year Award:
“The Danacable Lazuli Rhapsody Headphone Cable did everything a cable is supposed to do, improved clarity, dynamic range, and musicality without making a noticeable impact on timbre and tonal balance, in other words, it does not add its own sound to the mix.” – Gary Alan Baker, DANACABLE LAZULI RHAPSODY HEADPHONE CABLE – A DIRECT CONNECTION
To commemorate this award, we will offer 15% off all Lazuli Rhapsody models until December 31, 2023.
Based on input from our headphone aficionados, Danacable is introducing the Lazuli Rhapsody, a new line of headphone cables.
The Lazuli Rhapsody has the same wire complement as the Lazuli Ultra but uses a braided design with improved sonic performance and more flexibility (the Lazuli Ultra model is discontinued). The Rhapsody comes standard with Furutech connects, has two cloth-based sheathing options (all silver or all brown), and is available in 2-meter or 3-meter lengths.
Headphone.guru Gary Alan Barker gave the new Lazuli Rhapsody a “Two Thumbs Up” in a new review (Headphone.guru, September 2023): “The Danacable Lazuli Rhapsody Headphone Cable did everything a cable is supposed to do, improved clarity, dynamic range, and musicality without making a noticeable impact on timbre and tonal balance, in other words, it does not add its own sound to the mix.”
From now through the end of September, you can get a 15% discount on 2-meter Lazuli Rhapsody standard cables (US$ 1954 instead of US$ 2299).
Danacable will be at Capital Audiofest 2023, November 10 through November 12, 2023, at the Twinbrook Hilton, 1750 Rockville Pike, in Rockville, Maryland.
Our exhibit will feature the DanaTone Head-Space headphone amplifier and Lazuli cables. The Head-Space was awarded Headphone.guru’s Amplifier of the Year, 2021. Headphone.guru also awarded a “2021 Product of the Year” to Danacable’s Lazuli Reference Plus.
This year’s Danacable exhibit will also feature our new headphone cable, the Lazuli Rhapsody. The Rhapsody uses a mix of silver and copper wires, in a braided design for better sonic performance and flexibility. It comes standard with Furutech connectors.
“Listeners looking for the very best in reproduction will find the Head-Space is able to deliver exceptional performance for both speakers and headphones and competes with the best amplification out there whether its tube or solid-state” – Frank Iaccone, Headphone.guru 2021 Product of the Year Awards
“A serious contender for accessory of the year and gets my highest recommendation for enthusiasts who want to hear everything their transducer can produce.” – Frank Iaccone, Headphone.guru 2021 Product of the Year Awards, November 2021
