Best digital cable to audition?

Hi everyone. I am looking to audition some of the best digital cables out there and would like some recommendations. I've heard Transparent and thought very highly of it. Does anyone have other recommendations?

My current gear is the following...
Ayre V-3 amp
Krell Showcase Pre/Pro
Vandersteen 2Ce Signatures and VCC-1 Center Channel
Cardas Golden Cross I/C and Digital Lightning 15
Alpha Core MI 2 Speaker Cable

HI there, I would strongly suggest taking a look at Audio Metallury digital zero cable. The science behind it is cutting edge, I would also recomend upgrading the connectors to wbt silver next gen. I do not own the digital zero;but do own the zero ic's they are outragous. Break in is at least a coulple hundred hours, but well worth the wait

How about cheaper AES/EBU cables: like Cardas, Nordost Moonglo, etc. These are under $300. Any suggestions in this price range?

Try Signal Cable's AES/EBU for all of thirty something bucks before you drop big dollars. 30 day free trial.
I think it's outstanding! Even has silver contact pins. It's between a Sonic Frontiers transport and the Benchmark DAC1.

if you can find the original, stiff, illuminati cable, jump on it. it's my favorite coax cable. it might keep me from selling my cal alpha and delta combo. i plan to sell them later this year. for a dac that has tubes, it sounds more like solid state.
