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 auditioned the Marigo Labs Apparition 5.6 vs the Transparent and, in my system, I liked the Transparent better.
I also recently auditioned the Synergistic Designers' Reference and Absolute Reference digital cables. I felt that both were better than the Marigo 5.6 on my system. They both provided a better soundstage and more air. The Absolute Reference was quite a bit better than the Designers' Reference. It it one of the best digital cables I have heard, but at a price tag of $2,000 it better be.
I upgraded to the Synergistic Research Absolute Reference digital cable. It is a drastic improvement over the Marigo 5.6. The soundstage, bass, and aire are much improved. I am very impressed by the Synergistic line and am switching to all of their cables. The more of their cables I run in my system the closer it gets to where I want it. I have yet to hear the Stealth, but it's a little out of my price range to be honest. I am just a poor grad student at this point.
Has anyone heard the Kubala-Sosna or Pranawire digital cables? If so, how did they compare to others you've heard?
