@maxima95 - unfortunately XLR implementations are not my specialty, since most of my components do not employ that socket type.
Others have had great success using the Helix geometry with Analogue cables, but I do not know of anyone that has tried what you are considering.
If I were in your position, I would try building a prototype cable first using inexpensive wire.
For prototyping I used...
- Thermostat wire (for the Helix neutral) from a local hardware store
>>> Thermostat wire is 18 gauge solid core copper
>>> it holds the helix shape very well
- CAT6 for the signal wires - 24 or 28 gauge is ok
The prototype wire for a 3 ft AES/EBU digital cable would probably cost less than $20 - since you already have some good plugs.
If the cable sounds good then opt for the better grade wire.
What I have observed with digital cables is that wire quality is not as important as it is with analogue cables, so I would use 20 gauge silver plated Mil-spec for the neutral and 24 gauge mil-spec for the signal.
Hope that helps - steve
