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

if you can find the original, stiff, illuminati cable, jump on it. it's my favorite coax cable. it might keep me from selling my cal alpha and delta combo. i plan to sell them later this year. for a dac that has tubes, it sounds more like solid state.
there is a problem with this question:

in addition to system dependency there is preference.

for a given system there may be many favorite digital cables based upon a listeners preference.

it is hard to take the answers to this question too seriously.

at best, it pays to listen to as many cables as possible, regardless of suggestions and opinions.

listen, listen and listen, regardless of price. it's trial and error. better it be your error than relying on someone e
lse to supply the error for you.

in general, the variables of stereo system and preference make any component suggestions potentially unreliable for future purchases.
