Recommended AES/EBU cables under 800 dollars

I am interested in recommendations for the best bang for the buck high end digital XLR cables, new or used. I have tried a few in the $300-400 range and have not been very happy with them. The best I have heard was an Audio Note Sogon. It was $750 used. Wondering what else might be out there.

Thanks for your advice.

Actually, the list on the Photon is $1500. You just missed a 2m at MSS Hi-fi for $395

Harmonic Technology Cyberlight AES/EBU digital cable 2m XLR $395 (MSRP $1300) SOLD to Asia!

Steve3859 -- yes you are right. The HT website has it at "$3000+" but it must be a typo because Tweekgeek and Needledoctor sell it for $1500. Given all of the improvements, it seems the new version would be the one to try once one comes along used although the MSS deal on the older was pretty amazing.

Second the Photon/ Cyberlight . If you want something a little softer and with more weight, the CRL/ FIM Gold and Stealth Sextet are awfully nice too, as is the Sonoran Lambda, JPS Aluminata and Concierto Violin. But my fave is definitely the Photon with the new battery pack.
