How much better is direct BNC vs adapter

Just got my new Chord CuTest and it uses BNC coax and my Bluesound Node2 uses RCA. So I am currently using a RCA to BNC adapter with. Kimber AGDL RCA/RCA cable. I am considering buying a new cable and have it terminated RCA/BNC, but wanted some opinions from fellow Audio-goners, is it worth any further concern  to eliminate the adapter. 
2nd part to this question, is what cable under 500.00 would you pick?

Thank you in advance

I have a Nordost Silver Shadow 2 which is terminated BNC on both ends, NAIM server is BNC but Aesthetix Pandora is SPDIF coax, so I use the adapter....IT sounds fantastic and is quite close to my reference AudioQuest Eagle eye which runs adapter free....

the provided Nordost adapter works fine.

Ron Buffington here on Audiogon sells the Silver Shadow II, contact him for a quote...a fantastic cable IMO
