Another cable question

I'm a semi believer. 

I am a firm believer in quality cables and indeed all of my digital cables are silver plated copper.  I think digital benefits especially from silver.  Plated is adequate because of the very small size of the signal.  Larger wires are required more for durability than ampacity.  

I've reread your post twice, there is at least one typo in it, but it sounds like you asked about the cable downstram of the DAC, which is obviously analog.  I don't think silver has as big a role to play in analog (my experience).  I have a set of silver interconnects.  They are great.  I'm currently using Mundorf wires that are a copper, silver, gold blend that they claim they develioped by experimentation to see which alloys sounded best.  They are very good.  I do like silver connectors.  KLEI are very good.  I stay away from rhodium, a poor conductor. 

I say semi believer because all of this can be done at a reasonable (3 digit) price and most cable manufacturers are taking advantage of audiophile high tolerance for 4 and 5 digit prices.

This could be helpful in general regarding silver cables in general:

I use pure Silver in all my system, including a couple of power cords. The result will greatly depend on the design of the cables. The experience I have with Dynamique Audio is excellent. I'm using their cables for the last 5 years and have been moving up in the chain to get to the Apex line. Their top cables are the "no cables". Their goal is to achieve the maximum in neutrality and tonal balance. What you'll hear is the result of your components sound signature only. You can find many great reviews online. Regarding digital cables. The Apex is out of your budget, but "The Cable Company" represents them in the US and they have the other cables as well. The BNC cable I traded in for the Apex digital is still listed in their used cables website and you could give it a try (https://www.usedcable.com/dynamique_audio.html).

Good luck with your search.

BTW, I forgot to mention.  Some believe silver can be harsh or brash.  I don't believe that.  a cable does not add things.  It takes things away from the signal.  So if someone replaces a cable with silver and the result is harsh, then their old cables suck and they aren't hearing the harshness that is in their system.  Fixing a harshness problem in your electronics with bad cables (called by all kinds of affectionate euphemisms) is moving in the wrong direction.  

@bikeboy52 , I ran a .5 meter silver RCA cable from my Bluesound Node to the Sony TA-ZH1ES Line In. I ran a 1 meter silver RCA cable from the Sony TA Pre Out to my Marantz 7702 processor. I then used a 1 meter silver power cord to plug in the Sony TA. All silver cables were from the same brand. I will be adding a silver USB digital IC very soon. I also have a Paradigm streamer plugged into the Sony TA with an optical digital cable. This is also a headphone amp and I'll be using silver cables for my headphones too.
