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

In my opinion the Stealth Varidigit Sextet and the Cerious Technologies digital cable are the best presently available. The CT is substantially cheaper.

Where does the Nordost Valhalla digital cable fit into this?

I never had a Nordost digital, but both the Stealth and CT are better than the Siltech Golden Ridge and I am told the Golden Eagle.

The Sextet is sold with a full money back 30 day audition period and to date no purchaser has returned the cable to me for a refund. Many of them were Nordost, Siltech, Stereovox, and XLO owners. In a highly competitive marketplace, it is indeed a very fine product.

Rja,

I use a Valhalla digicable (XLR) between a CEC TL-1X and a Dodson 218 DAC. IMS, it surpassed both the PAD Dominus and the Kharma Grand Reference, both of which I found to be a bit reticent, but not by much in either case; just enough to cause me to switch. I have not heard the Stealth Sextet.
