I'm suprised you found the difference between the Diamondback and the Taipan Helix to be so close, particularly on a source component, but good thats great considering the $ you save.
I've found that most cords and the differences they make are definitely source dependant. I recently bought an IMac 20 to replace my older Dell laptop and turns out the IMac is just as, if not more revealing of cord changes than my Benchmark DAC1. Makes sense since it's higher up the signal path I guess..
