recommend excellent balance XLR cable for me plz?

Hi
my current source is the Audio Prima DAC MKII SE
and my headphone amplifier is TTVJ 307A
I want to buy an excellent XLR cable to connect the two together.
I can pay up to 1000$ for the cable(I think I will find a used one so I can get a better cable with the price).

My taste of music is "soundstage, detail, airy, image, emotional"

Can anyone tell me which used cable is the best in my price range?

Thanks

I think the AQ Sky on audiogon is sold. For the Kimber KS-1130, do you think that it will make my set up sound so cold or dry? Because right now the amplifier TTVJ 307's sound is very clear and not warm

I can't imagine the 1130 making your system "cold or dry" they are a good cable that is more towards the warm smooth side " in my system". More Sky will be along, in the meantime why not audition both?

AQ coral from HCM audio is good and cheap or Cardas Cross, warmer, cheap, and very good, or signal cable silver cheap and excellent, or VAmpire Silver, very good, hard to beat and about 35% or your budget.

Thanks everyone.
I have just bought the Kimber KS-1130 on audiogon.

Do you think the Kimber KS-1130 will be better than Nordost Quattro????????????

In my opion, balanced cables sound more alike than RCA cables. XLR are more uniform in sound. Balanced is better as a conncection, but I prefer the sound of RCA where noise is not an issue.
