Is AES/EBU digital cable/connection all that?

In my current digital front end (transport,dac)I have the option of AES/EBU or regular single ended(RCA)digital coax. The digital cables I own are all single ended(Green Hornet and Illuminations D60 cables).Would it be worth the cost to upgrade to AES/EBU cable? Thanks,gixerman

I definately prefer the AES/EBU connection to the single-ended (RCA).

I do realize every thing is system dependent and personally dependent upon ones own preference.I would like to know what have you tried. (I mated this with that and I thought) What did you like better than what?And why did you prefer one to the other? Thanks,Gixerman

i have a cal alpha/delta combination and prefer ever so slightly an rca over a balanced.

i am looking for an original, stiff illuminati singled ended
cable.
