I also have C64, at the beginning i used normal composite RF out, but audio is really in bad quality, then i got grounded audio / s-video cable from retro computer shack (england) with gold connectors and quality is excellent (for s-video i use that common s-video to vga black box converter which does convertion acceptable to my vga/hdmi 24" samsung led monitor at right settings), at dualsid i believe very excellent is https://www.sidfx.dk, but i personally dont need another sid, even for example defMON supports it, because i am afraid to modify my C64G, it is in excellent condition, i have luck to get that one from czech republic and was used from 1991 upon my purchase maybe 5-times, so it was almost new ))

That dualsid looks super useful! Also good to know about retro computer shack, I got my C64 S-Video cable from retro gaming cables (also UK). I just ordered some adapters I'd need to use the RF out so I'll experiment a bit more. To be clear, I'm looking to get video from RF but audio from the A/V port (reason being I want to use a sexy 1980's Watchman for the video - it'll look like absolute crap, but hopefully it'd be good enough to do basic things like select songs).
