Hi Pani,
I rarely heard people talked about Yamamura. I love the Yamamura cables and I was a user for the M6000 Digital Cable before I switch back to a one box CDP.
The M3000 or even the M5000 cannot compare to the M6000. The M6000 was the top of the line model (except the Millenium limited edition). The M6000 gave a bigger soundstage and more detail and more liquid than the M5000 and maintain the life-like warmth like no others. From the list you provided, it is hard to rival the M5000 or the M6000. At the time, I tried a very expensive Transparent Audio cable (forgot model) but it's like $1500 used and the Cardas Golden Ref but none give you the "seduction" as the Yamamura M6000. In today's hifi world, you would need to pay around $1000 or more (used) to get M6000 musicality and performance. I have a friend who may have a M6000 laying around, let me ask him......
Good luck and enjoy!
