AES Cables: Kubala, Stealth, PAD, etc..experiences


For use between transport and DAC, which AES cables do people prefer and why? I've heard great things about people's experiences who moved to Stealth, Kubala (have a new ELATION AES), PAD, Synergistic, Harmonic Tech, etc...and would like to collect as much feedback as possible as I evaluate potential 'next moves'....thanks!

From what I've heard the newer connectors are considered better over an already impressive cable by several people I've spoken with that owned it. Interestingly enough, I've also communicated with two people who have taken the plunge on the new Kubala-Sosna ELATION level AES cable which is not even on their website yet as they are behind on updating it however they tell me that it gives them everything they were missing with other AES top-end cables and they have confirmed their switch away from other choices.
I am using the ELATION AES/EBU cables now; they have outstanding build quality and tremendously deep, broad and refined soundstage even in their initial break-in period. This AES cable is extremely promising and they've gone over the top to achieve a SOTA AES digital cable!
The ELATION AES cables are definitely a destination cable based upon what I am hearing as of late. They will drop your jaw in amazement...alot of musical happiness here!
