I've had three AQ ICs before - Ruby, Viper and King Cobra. Viper was more extended (highs and lows) than Ruby with better control and tighter bass while King Cobra was more refined and even slightly more extended on both ends than Viper.
Audioquest, to be competitive, moved production to China and changed cable names. Older Python became much cheaper King Cobra while Viper became Diamondback.
King Cobra is very neutral refined and airy - good cable (I had 0.5m XLR). Hope it helps.
