Suggestions for AES/EBU cable for Classe CDP-102?

I just bought a Classe CDP-102, and have an SSP-600 feeding a CA-5200 (5 X 200W - center and 4 surrounds) and a CA-301 (2 X 300W fronts) - speakers are (2) B&W 803 Matrix S2 (fronts), (3) Matrix 805s (cc and rear surrounds), and (2) B&W DS6 surrounds.

I'm looking for a good used AES/EBU cable - but my toy fund is low ... can I buy a good cable under $300, and if so, can anyone offer a recommendation? I noticed some good feedback on here about the DH Labs D-110, but fear it may be too bright given my set up. Thoughts anyone?

Gee, Dave, I just asked a simple question. You seem to have a habit of reading into things that aren't there. I'm sorry that my opinion/suggestion troubles you so.

Come on Bob, having read dozens of your posts I think I read you quite accurately.

But if not, please elaborate on your view of the sound (or lack thereof) of digital cables.

There's no question they sound different Bob. And the Blue Jeans cable is the worst AES/EBU cable I have heard. Even the Apogee is considerably better and is a benchmark for affordable AES/EBU. And you can do a lot better than the Apogee by spending a lot more. You should really have a listen, and dare I say it, before recommending something.
