Digital coax cable, real world experiences?


Yes I know ANOTHER cable thread....lol
Guess that is why it has its own complete section
My question regards a cable I have not really paid much attention to previously, the digital coax connection from my media server to my preamp.
I was using a very old generic connection that is at least 15 years old but acquired a pretty cheap tributaries digital coax cable and thought oh well lets change it.
I was shocked and stunned at just how much more detail was present and the depth and solidity of bass was near overwhelming, granting I was listening to some pretty bass intense material at the time but still!
Now do not get me wrong I was once one of the biggest cable naysayers you would find and still think the majority of me now hearing changes is the quality of the rest of my system as previous "lower fi" systems just did not truly reveal any note(pun intended) worthy changes.
So my question is if I heard a significant difference with a fairly inexpensive cable what may occur with really going up the food chain on a digital coax cable? Or was it more that my previous no name very old cable was just that ..very old and poor.
Thoughts and real world experiences on digital coax cables?

While I really like my Synergistic research power, interconnects, and speaker cables, I use the Pangea premier XL from my transport to DIP and a DH Labs D750 from DIP to dac. These two cables work well with each other and I especially like them for the price. The pangea Premier XL replaced a bettercabler silver serpent with imoroved smootheness and just sounded more refined and "mature".
I like Tidal. Tidal seems to like me. I like Roon too. So every competitive industry has winners and losers. Do we, the Audiogon typing and commenting group have significant influence? Perhaps we do.
@wgutz,

I believe the article link you shared above is about 2 years old. Qobuz is very much alive and thriving. I wish they offer subscription to US residents. They are the only ones I know currently offering 24bit/192khz FLAC streaming.
