Best connection between Auralic Aries G2.1 streamer and PS Audio Directstream dac?


I am currently using a Wireworld Platinum 8 XLR digital cable between these two components but what would be a nice upgrade? I am told that digital XLR is the best connection and if so what would be a nice upgrade to my Wireworld Platinum 8 XLR and is XLR in fact the best connection?

The Auralic does not do I2S but my Perfectwave transport does. I may go wild and upgrade my Wireworld Platinum Starlight 7 HDMI cable from Perfectwave transport to Directstream dac to an Audioquest Dragon 48 HDMI if I can get a good deal. As for the Auralic to Directstream I may wait to find a second hand Kimber Kable KS 2120 AES/EBU cable. In the meantime the Wireworld Platinum cables are quite nice. I may just keep the Wireworld on the Auralic but maybe the Dragon 48 for my Perfectwave/Directstream.

I got lucky and will be getting an Audioquest Wel Signature AES/EBU cable for between my Auralic Aries streamer and PS Audio Directstream dac. I am very excited. 

I found the AES/EBU connection much better sounding than USB between my Auralic Aries G2.1 streamer and PS Audio Directstream dac. 

The Wel Signature AES/EBU cable is a nice upgrade over the Wireworld. I am enjoying my new sound.
