I’ll second the Sake River Audio Boomslang AES/EBU. I replaced my DH labs silversonic, which is great for the price. The Boomslang was a clear improvement in my system, albeit for a lot more money.
+1 Acoustic Zen. I don’t have their digital cable, but I have several of their interconnects and speaker cables and all are supremely musical yet still have excellent detail, imaging/soundstage, and tonality. In short, they’re very natural sounding. If this sounds like it’s what you’re after then AZ is well worth a look.
The Snake River Boomslang is quite warm. Personally, I recommends something more neutral in this position, and if yer after a level of warmth, do it father down the chain. This is just a personal system building approach for me; might as well get all the info from source to the DAC, then think about ‘tuning’.
