Warm/Forgiving AES/EBU digital cable less then $1000

Mike, I guarantee if I switched between my Kimber and Cardas cables you'd hear a distinct difference. Hoffman would as well. Not to be rude, but if you don't you guys must be deaf.

Buy the Mogami and spend the $950 on the upgrades.

@denman which Cardas cable is this? Clear or the older Lightning 15?

The cold unforgiving source is my source, which is an older laptop. It will be replaced at the end of this year. I was hoping to find something to get me by until then. Not crazy expensive. It will be the AES/EBU for a while after the server/transport upgrade until that gets upgraded as well.

The Cardas Clear is on the list as well as the Snake River Boomslang and possibly even the Purist Audio Neptune.

Anyone know these cables and their amount of forgiveness/warmth? 

What kind of laptop has an AES/EBU output?
