Any Thought On A New CD to DAC Cable?

Greetings,
I have been out of the scene for quite awhile now. Wife got on a cleaning jag and accidentally knocked the CAL Delta off its little stand. It was saved by her grabbing the Audioquest Optilink Pro-2 and the power cord which caught on the top of the stand. The AQ broke :(.
I need to know if there is any good reason why I should not get another Optilink. The Delta feeds a Krell Stealth D/A through this link. Any comments appreciated.

If you like, I have a "spare" 1m ATT ST cable that I'll send you. It's a generic that I had a pair of made at my electronics supplier. I use one between my transport and dac. Sounds great to me, but I would like another opinion. Let me know.....Bob D

Gentlemen,
Thanks for the replies. I will call AQ Monday to see if they'll repair this Pro-2. If not I may have to splurge on a Pro4, it's the only glass cable they have. I paid for the AT&T option on the Delta and Stealth when I originally bought them new to use as a matched pair. My system consists of the Delta-Krell Stealth-Krell KSL-Forte Mod.4-Polk SDA2B's. AQ Lapis IC's and AQ Sterling speaker cables. Not the cream but it sure sounds good to me! :)
I haven't listened at all to any of the coax cables so for those I am out in the cold.

I am very familiar with the Krell Stealth. STAY WITH AT&T!

The Stealth is probably the strong point of your system, a very under-rated product. In my opinion, if your interested, the KSL is not in the same league. I would suggest that you buy a used KBL and sell your KSL. It won't cost you much, and it will be a dramatic improvement.
