Need some Suggestions on Best Digital Cable

I currently own a CEC Tl-1X and a Theta Digital Pro-Gen Va D/A converter and would like some suggestions on some ''high-end'' digital cables. Preferences would be cables that are detailed but warm and have a nice rich overall smooth sound. The rest of the system is ''older'' Rowland Electronics and Avalon Speakers.

I am using the Creative Cable Concept Silver Bullet between my scd777es and MSB Plat Plus. I have used the D60 and Orchid in the past. I found the Silver Bullet to be detailed, warm and rich. The D60 and Orchid are extremely detailed, but not as warm and had little richness. The Silver Bullet is a very "heavy" cable with a "network" box. It will need to burn in before you will enjoy it.

Don't want to fuss with anyone, but fancy digital cables are a bit of a contriversy. I'd at least try the dirt cheap hardware store variety before putting down over $20.00. If you can't tell the $20.00 cable from whatever you are using now in a blind test then you may want to spend money on improvements elsewhere.

I've tried quite a few but 47Labs' OTA cable works best for me.

I auditioned a well made $20 digital cable against a $300 top of the line Acoustic Zen digital cable. There was absolutely no difference.
