Cable recommendation between Dac and Integrated amp

I’m trying to improve my cabling between my Cambridge Azur 851 D and my Pass Int 60.

I need to stay under 750.00/used I’m considering Audience Au24 SE and Acoustic Zen Ultimate copper

What else should I consider?  BTW- My speakers are Martin Logan Montis's (electrostatics)

Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Save some money, I highly recommend you look into cables by Audio Sensibility. They source the same great occ cooper/silver used by the top cables companies like Audience.  I’ve bought several cables them, all great value.

The truth is, of course, that many of these cables can be manufactured (i.e. bought from China) for a few dollars at most. The high margin strategy is to make big profits with a small operation.

Yes and no.  OFC is easy to source but it’s my understanding that OCC cooper and silver can only be sourced from a few licensed companies in Japan.

Of the two you mention (Audience Au24 SE and Acoustic Zen Ultimate copper), while I could be mistaken, isn't the Acoustic Zen Ultimate copper the balanced option of the two? Point is, I think whatever you decide, you want balanced and not SE.

The best I have found - at any price - is the Duelund 20 GA IC from parts express. 

I use it between my Schiit Yggy and my ASR integrated.

Did I mention that it's actually affordable?
