Is Stealth Sakra IC is really better than Indra?

I've used several ICs over the years including Nordost Valhalla, Tara Labs Zero and Siltech G6. I found the Indra to the best cable I've experienced (including the other Stealth cables), and still live happily with them for the past two years now (they are clearly among the best investments I've made in audio). Stealth came out with a new reference IC, the Sakra. I'm carious to hear from other users how better it is compared to the Indra. Unfortunately, I don't have the option to test it in my system. The rest of the system includes TAD reference 1 and MSB Platinum DAC IV signature.

Quick update on the Sakra Break-in. I was at around the 450 hour mark this week and sat down for a long night of listening. There was quite a jump from the 250 hour mark. I was hearing a much wider sound stage than with the Indra, alot more detail, alot more air, and without a doubt, more layers. I was quite impressed. As good as it was I can't completely let go of the Indra.......I have had some very emotional listening sessions with it.....if the Sakra can do that in the future, it will be a hands down no brainer. I'm actually starting to wonder what another Sakra to replace the Indra from my pre to my amps, would sound like!

Guys.....just for kicks and giggles I bought a pair of Mogami Gold ic's..........$100 for the pair. To make a long story short, they are amazing! I sold the Sakra and Indra! The Mogami Gold got me 95% of the way there at 1% of the cost! Initially I just bought the cable to integrate my home theatre system in with my 2 channel system. One night for fun I swapped the Sakra and Mogami, and never looked back. The money from my Sakra and Indra bought me an MBL6010D!!
