Muralman, your system looks killer, and your posts show you to be a well-seasoned audiophile.
From your MIT comment, I would guess you hate networked cables. My only experience was with a borrowed Transparent that sounded pretty good at the time to my ears, though probably pumped up and larger than life, so it impressed me.
Are you referring to Gold Ref shielding and/or outer jacketing as the noisemakers?
Perhaps the Gold Presence w/less shielding would sound better.
Have you fooled around with the AQ DBS stuff? Curious how that may effect dielectric issues.
