Need some Suggestions on Best Digital Cable

I currently own a CEC Tl-1X and a Theta Digital Pro-Gen Va D/A converter and would like some suggestions on some ''high-end'' digital cables. Preferences would be cables that are detailed but warm and have a nice rich overall smooth sound. The rest of the system is ''older'' Rowland Electronics and Avalon Speakers.

Your description of what you like sounds exactly like Purist Dominus Rev. B, and there are frequently used ones on Audiogon.

I can tell you this; the gen 5a will be holding you back. It's dated. Your transport is fine.

I am using the Creative Cable Concept Silver Bullet between my scd777es and MSB Plat Plus. I have used the D60 and Orchid in the past. I found the Silver Bullet to be detailed, warm and rich. The D60 and Orchid are extremely detailed, but not as warm and had little richness. The Silver Bullet is a very "heavy" cable with a "network" box. It will need to burn in before you will enjoy it.

Don't want to fuss with anyone, but fancy digital cables are a bit of a contriversy. I'd at least try the dirt cheap hardware store variety before putting down over $20.00. If you can't tell the $20.00 cable from whatever you are using now in a blind test then you may want to spend money on improvements elsewhere.
