Best rca digital cable for Audio Logic 24MXL dac?

Considering Bitmeister (Empirical); Cryo'd Pulsar (VH); Poiema or the older MSE (Ridge Street); Dominus $$$ (Purist); and anything else you think might be synergistic with this very enjoyable dac. In the past, have owned Kharma Grand Ref (huge!); Illum. D-60; currently Stereovox HDVX (it's just ok...). Only request is no strident-sounding cables that are tipped to the highs, as my ribbon tweeters and higher-efficiency speakers appreciated more 'full-bodied' cables. OK- bring it on!

over the years I've made upgrades to my AL DAC. (2) improvements were NOS Tele 6922 tubes from Tube World (at $450.00 a set and worth it in the AL DAC) and popping the wires off the RCA input and wiring them to the BNC digital out of the DAC. Now I have a BNC to BNC line from transport to DAC and I know it sounds better than 75 0hm RCA-took all of ten minutes. FWIW I use a Marigo 5.6 apparition with BNC plugs. I also use the ERS sheets from stillpoints in assorted areas of the DAC and power supply

rcprince: Jerry Ozment just may make the most musically pleasing DAC for consumers (but you know that) However it can be improved. Cryovaced Telefunken NOS 6922's are absolute killers in this DAC. BNC to BNC is the ONLY way to go (I don't care if Jerry disagrees-hearing is believing). I have tediously built "boxes" lined with ERS sheets to separate the Digital board from Analog Board, covered the interstage transformers with ERS boxes, covered all LED's, input, output plugs and am still experimenting with the ERS sheets. I also use the Marigo digital cord-have been for 8 years, currently the 5.6 as well as the Mini-matrix Stealth and power cords by intuitve audio. Now-how about those MIT output caps?-anyone changed them?
