AES/EBU cables for Emm Labs DCC2 SE

I am curious which AES/EBU cables you have found worthwhile for the EMM Labs DCC2 or another equivalent D to A processor. It would be helpful if you could say a little about the cables you compared and their respective strengths and weaknesses. I really appreciate your time and assistance.

another thought on my cable comparison posted above...

the mit is a dark sounding digital cable while the emotion cable is very light sounding. if your system is in need of some taming, the mit is a good choice, if it needs some lightening up, the ks cable.

i will have the nordost cable tuesday and will try to post some thoughts after some listening.

Stealth Varidig Sextet! That's if you want the most naturally 'right' sounding cable that I've personally found.

Richard,

There is a Kharma Enigma AES/EBU digicable listed for sale at around the same price a Sextet would go for. I have an old Kharma Grand Reference I use from my Wadia i70 iPod transport to Dodson DAC, and I previously used it from my CEC. The GR was and is a superb cable, with a warm, smooth, musical sound, and the Enigma is a step up. I would look into it seriously, as these never come up for sale. They are thick and heavy if that is a consideration.
