A cable favors the sound to your liking. As an manufacturer of tube audio components, we are exposed to many companies and have tried many digital cables. Your system most likely will respond to a cable differently that what other people's experience was in their system. We partnered with a speaker manufacturer five years ago at CAF and won the best of show award. Funny thing is that we forgot to bring a digital cable and used an old Adcom copper IC that we ripped in half and used that cable for the show. It is actually a nice sounding cable. My advise is to try a few different brands and construction maybe a silver, copper, just to get started with and learn how they impact the sound in your system. Then find a good one and be done with the cable search.
Happy Listening.
