I recently had a long discussion with the folks at Audioquest about this same subject. My question was what did the recommend I use between my Cal Delta and my MSB DAC3
unit. What I was lloking for was an interconnect recommendation, but was somewhat stuned with their reply. The said to give the "Optilink 4" a try as the Delta has an exceptional convertor to use with the cable. Well a couple weeks later I ran accross a mint used one for $50, and said to myself "what the heck!"
I noticed a distinct difference right away. The sound was much smoother; like it took the edge off everything. There seems tobe just a little bit more bass, but maybe the highs have rolled off a tad. Still it's unique, and not unpleasant to listen to.
