aes / ebu digital cable choices

Seeking opinions on aes-ebu digital cable choices for my system which is Wadia 8 transport to Electrocompaniet ECD-1 dac. Pre / Pwr is Mcintosh ss to Vandersteens. Currently using DH Labs D-110 which I like,but think I can do better. Definitely don't want a bright or forward type sound. Currently considering:
Kimber Orchid
Audioquest Falcon
Wireworld Gold Starlight 5

I haven't heard any of these, but would like to hear from those who have experience with them. Also is length a major concern?

Rodman,
I spoke with Kimber and Wireworld reps regarding ideal cable length and possible data reflections .Both stated it was not an issue.Just buy the length you need. I don't what you heard.People hear what they hear. Just passing out their comments.

I do know what I heard and that's what I passed on, as requested by the OP.

After the Nordost Odin which I currently use, the best I have encountered was the Stealth Sextet, and I have heard many digital cables with balanced terminations. The Nordost Valhalla and Kharma Grand ref, though polar opposites (no pun intended) also are very good.
