"Warm" sounding digital interconncect

Hi folks, I'm selling my Purist Audio Design Dominus AES/EBU digital cable because I think it has less PRaT and sounds less lively (too laid back for my taste) than the Wireworld Gold Starlight SPDIF digital cable. I know, the Wireworld is much cheaper than the PAD, but I like it more. I wonder if you know another digital interconnect that has plenty of PRaT and sounds warm and full throughout the midrange? To me a bit too forward is better than too laid back sound as I'm getting sleepy with a too laid back sound presentation.

what is your impression of the wireworld ?

in reading your comments it would seem the purist is too laid back and the wireworld is too forward...and you are looking for something right in between...

is there any preference in regards to musicality between the 2 ?

Mike, in my opinion the PAD is a bit too laid back, while the Wireworld has a more lively and less laid back presentation. It is not too forward. My analog rig sounds more forward than the digital rig, including the Wireworld. If there is an interconnect that sounds more upfront than the Wireworld, I might give it a try.
