Questions like that make no sense. Not because cables don't make a difference, but because it completely misunderstands the difference they do make.
There is no such thing as the best cable between this and that. This and that do not care the slightest what is between them. Its you. You are the one and only thing that cares. If you are serious about building a music system that sounds good then that is the one and only thing you can afford to be concerned with: how it sounds.
For how it sounds you can forget what is connected at either end and focus entirely on the sound. Because sorry, but the system matching guys are wrong. A cable with a wide deep luxurious stage is gonna be like that no matter what. Its not gonna magically change and become flat and lifeless just because you didn't find the right match. Synergy. Balance. Whatever. All BS.
So first you must know what you value most in a component. Which component? Doesn't matter! If you want a deep wide 3D sound stage with beautiful presence and dynamics then you want that from everything. You do not match some hyper articulate crap to balance out whatever. You want it all, each individual piece, to be that way. That's the question you ask: What cable will give me a big bold dynamic 3D sound? And I answer: Synergistic Research. Or you ask What will give me thin hyper analytical: Nordost, Transparent. Like that.
