Digital IC- I use Stealth Sextet- anything better?


Love the Stealth Varidig Sextet, however would also like to investigate other options- looking for 'take no prisoners' performance- other digital IC's under consideration so far:

1) Kubala-Sosna Emotion
2) Harmonic Technology Photon
3)MIT Oracle MA-X

any opinions on the above 3 in relation to each other or anything else appreciated- looking for best of the best.

I have tried many of the big names and have stayed with the Stealth Sextet for a few years now. Only one close was Nordost Valhalla digital. Did not think the AZ MC2 played nearly in the same league, WADR.

I've owned several iterations of the Marigo as well but none of the most recent models.
As always I stand by my opinion that there is no absolute "objective" best in audio because of system variables/compatibility and personal preferences.
A year ago I replaced the Stealth sextet with the Marigo Apparition Reference Extreme. I believe we all have experience with Marigo Digital IC's in the past and in fact, the Stealth replaced a Marigo 5.8 in 2007. Ron sent me his Extreme Digital IC and it bettered the Stealth by having a more vivid, holographic presentation. Both cables were remarkable at the frequency extremes. Both very transparent, linear and non-metallic sounding. The Marigo more lifelike
Having owned the Sextet and the Emotion, I don't think there's a definitive answer here. Both are excellent digital ICs but as always are system dependent.
The Emotion may be a slight bit mellower than the Sextet, so if your system needs that the Emotion might be a good choice.
If your system is a tad laid back then the Sextet may be the way to go.
Caveat: I've only used the 1.5m balanced versions of these and have no experience with BNC or RCA terminated versions.
No experience with MIT.
Sutts, I have heard the K-S and the MIT cables and I still think the Sextet is the best cable I have yet heard. Can't comment on the Harmonic never heard it.
