In my system (using the SACD 1000 and DCC2) the ST Glass cables are incredibly inferior to the Stealth Varidig Sextet AES/EBU cable. My guess is that this will prove to be the case using the CDSD as well.

Exlibris, what you report doesn't surprise me; but don't assume you'd get the same results with the Aural Symphonics ST cables.

I'm now using the CDSD with the DCC2 and I have to say that I much prefer the ST Glass connection over the AES/EBU - BNC connection.
The main difference was that the soundstaging and image placement was much more coherent and natural with the ST Glass. The other cables offered a presentation that was somewhat 'confused', by comparison.
I do want to 'warm up' the sound I'm getting from my system now but I will do so with a downstream change.
