Is Stealth Sakra IC is really better than Indra?

I've used several ICs over the years including Nordost Valhalla, Tara Labs Zero and Siltech G6. I found the Indra to the best cable I've experienced (including the other Stealth cables), and still live happily with them for the past two years now (they are clearly among the best investments I've made in audio). Stealth came out with a new reference IC, the Sakra. I'm carious to hear from other users how better it is compared to the Indra. Unfortunately, I don't have the option to test it in my system. The rest of the system includes TAD reference 1 and MSB Platinum DAC IV signature.

So Bullot, what's the missing 5%?
Thanks.

Thanks Bullot and Inna. Yep, I always doubt the notion of X% difference in something that is qualitative, not quantitative. If that 1% is, say, an opaque bass or ringing midrange, that could make the component totally unacceptable, and suddenly 1% is 100%. I think what is meant is that 2 things have a similar sound signature, but that is only the beginning.

Of course, those Mogamis sound interesting from someone who knows the Stealth magic, so thanks for the tip Bullot.
