Best rca digital cable for Audio Logic 24MXL dac?

Considering Bitmeister (Empirical); Cryo'd Pulsar (VH); Poiema or the older MSE (Ridge Street); Dominus $$$ (Purist); and anything else you think might be synergistic with this very enjoyable dac. In the past, have owned Kharma Grand Ref (huge!); Illum. D-60; currently Stereovox HDVX (it's just ok...). Only request is no strident-sounding cables that are tipped to the highs, as my ribbon tweeters and higher-efficiency speakers appreciated more 'full-bodied' cables. OK- bring it on!

over the years I've made upgrades to my AL DAC. (2) improvements were NOS Tele 6922 tubes from Tube World (at $450.00 a set and worth it in the AL DAC) and popping the wires off the RCA input and wiring them to the BNC digital out of the DAC. Now I have a BNC to BNC line from transport to DAC and I know it sounds better than 75 0hm RCA-took all of ten minutes. FWIW I use a Marigo 5.6 apparition with BNC plugs. I also use the ERS sheets from stillpoints in assorted areas of the DAC and power supply

Powder:
Which AL DAC are you using?
Are you willing to share the specifics of which
areas for application of ERS sheets made the improvement
that you saw?

I'm going to probably try the ERS sheet trick. My bet is if you use it to wall off the digital from the analog side it could make a significant difference. Powder, any guidance?

If you are considering the D60 you also might want to look at I2Digital's X-60. The guy who designed the D60 designed this I believe. I am using it between mt DAC and transport with great results

The Marigo digital cables are fantastic- just so much better than anything else I've tried...
