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

I'm sorry, but I have a question for you that might be disturbing for some: there seems to be a sort of cable neurosis regarding digital interconnects. What is it good for? I'm not an expert, but to me the most important thing is that a digital cable should be ok in the first place, technically speaking. If the cable doesn't meet the enginering criteria for a proper digital interface, then it is flawed. Some are trying to "fine tune" the sound of their gear by using digital interconnects. I think this is not the right way. Digital interconnects are not analog signal interconnects! If a digital interconnect is sounding very different than the other interconnects (that are engineered properly), then this interconnect must be bad (from the engineer's eye).

If the Stealth Varidig Sextet digital cable is the absolute best digital cable in existence (or at least the best digital cable on this planet), why are people selling this cable? If they have experienced "paradise", why would they want to go back to "earth"? Just curious...

Rja, in which departments is the Virtual Dynamics Revelation Signature superior to the Stealth Varidig Sextet? What do you think of the Marigo Aperition? How does your top-3 digital cables look like?

Albert, in my opinion the Purist Audio Dominus digital is a refined but a bit laid back cable.
