SPDIF Digital Cable Recommendations

I am looking for a SPDIF cable to run between a Music server and DAC.  Do you really need a high-end cable in this case?  Currently, I am running a $34  SPDIC cable and the music is actually better than running a higher-end USB cable.  BTW, the DAC is a Lampizator Pacific and the Media Server is from Lucas Audio LDMS.  I definitely like the sound of SPDIF vs USB.

If you have the budget, the High Fidelity CT-2 coax starts at $1150. I find it to present music realistically with a sense of air and a smooth top-end. The next model up is $1500 which wasn't available when I made my purchase.

I’ve been very happily using the High Fidelity CT-1Ultimate digital cable (Spdif-rca connectors) for the past 6 or 7 years. It is an excellent combination of high resolution performance with a thoroughly organic presentation. Their current cables could be even better but I’m completely happy with mine.
