Is AES/EBU digital cable/connection all that?

In my current digital front end (transport,dac)I have the option of AES/EBU or regular single ended(RCA)digital coax. The digital cables I own are all single ended(Green Hornet and Illuminations D60 cables).Would it be worth the cost to upgrade to AES/EBU cable? Thanks,gixerman

i have a cal alpha/delta combination and prefer ever so slightly an rca over a balanced.

i am looking for an original, stiff illuminati singled ended
cable.

tried it with same cable (longer length though ) in a completely balanced system-pretty much dual differential all through.

the aes/bu was better-more body, better imaging, air etc... i really try to keep the same termination consistant through the digital chain....
