XLR cables that sound bold, natural, real..silver?

Hi, I'm looking for XLR cable recommendations to connect my NAD M51 DAC to my power amp.

Currently using Neotech NEI-3001s and they're good but perhaps tilting things too much to the warm side on top of the NAD.

Looking for more transparency and naturalness; that windex effect, if you know what I mean, but still with good bass.

Was thinking about silver based conductors and connectors other than copper/gold, at "sane" prices. I've tried Canare and Mogami already. The Neotech is better than them but still not the last word in "you are there". Any help?

If the Darwin Silver XLRs are anything like their RCAs, then give them some consideration.

I have two pair of their RCAs (had to get the other one once I heard the first) and they bring an ability to unravel the music like nothing I've heard.

There's a testimonial from an A'gon user on their site where he prefers them over his Nordost and Quattros (which go for 2-3 times the price of the Darwins XLRs)

All the best,
