Thoughts on swapping out Audioquest and Transparent cables for Duelund

My set up is Simaudio 340 integrated, and 280D streamer/DAC with Proac D20R speakers. I am using Audioquest Water balanced interconnects, and Transparent Music Plus speaker cables. 
I have always been intrigued by Duelund cables, not really sure why but I hold them in high regard. I have been considering replacing the mentioned cables with Duelund  DAC wires. The speakers would be 12 gauge, and interconnects would be 16 guage. I will also be replacing my no name interconnects from my Gold Note  phono stage to my amp.

 From a money perspective it would be pretty much an even swap. Any thoughts or previous experience is appreciated. I prefer a “slightly” warmer sound, and while system is not bright if it were a tad warmer I wouldn’t mind.

I too have the MOON 280D MIND2 streamer/ dac feeding  a REGA OSIRIS integrated amp, and driving my Brit speakers (HARBETH) 

 As you said, a warmer but still airy and very detailed audio presentation was missing. 

So I replaced my entire NORDOST FREY cables array by swapping in a full CARDAS CLEAR cables loom.…… - Terrific upgrade  …my quest was solved in spades .  
Highly recommended.

- NOTE: Balanced (XLR) CARDAS CLEAR  interconnects for the 280D as the source were preferred over RCAs

FWIW …
