cable shopping...Help!

I'm looking to buy a couple new cables for my system. I need a cable between my preamp and amp and I need a cable for my DAC to preamp. I'm considering some of the "budget" cables I see here on this site. I curious about Bettercables, Homegrownaudio, The Music Company, Phoneix Gold. My system is Marantz cdp, Denon DAC, Rotel preamp (I sometimes use it passive), Golden Tube SE-40 amp, and Triangle Titus xs speakers. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Try the Mapleshade Clearview Ultrathin Digital @ $32.50. Or, the Clearview Double Helix Digital @ $120.00 (I use this one and am very happy with its musical yet detailed sound). The website is @(mapleshaderecords.com/tweaks). I am using it from a CAL player to a Bel Canto DAC. Before I was using a Canare cable and the Mapleshade dusted it in every aspect.

My personal recommendations, which can acquired at a reasonable price either new or used: 1. HomeGrownAudio's Silver Solution or Silver Lace cables (buy the kits, do the assembly yourself, and save some bucks); 2. Kimber Silver Streak (buy used), or Kimber PBJ.
