Marigo Apparition 5.8 vs Audioquest EagleEye

Currently have the Marigo, sounds great, but have wondered how folks may think they compare.

I have AQ Sky interconnects and AQ Rockefeller speaker, so seem to keep gravitating toward the AQ stuff.

Not unhappy with the Marigo, just sort of entertaining the thought of if all AQ wire would have some special magic, I guess.

Solid state amplification, Audio Note tubed DAC, Amphion Argon monitors.

Thanks! I know, sort of an unusual question, so just seeking opinions, musings, etc.

I've tried dozens of digitals and the Marigo 5.8 is right up there with the best, second only to the Stealth Sextet IMS. Great air. Detailed, but never etched or harsh. Wonderful sense of ease. Lets the music through.

I've used the Audioquest Hawk (previous top cable from AQ) but not the EagleEye. To me, the Marigo is better. More dimension, 3-D and life to the music. But the Hawk didn't have DBS. I haven't found any significant advantage to using digital by the same company as the other cables, but you're going to have to try it in your set-up to know for sure.
