Recommended coax cable for Metrum Octave

I'm getting an Octave to go with my SB Touch and need a coax cable to go with it. Since my cabling is Purist Audio, I was thinking PAD Genesis, but Cees at Metrum provided the following "specs" which the Genesis does not fulfill (#2 & 3):
1) 75 Ohms
2) Teflon isolators for shield and center conductor
3) Both core and shield should be copper silver plated

I'm thinking a VH Audio Pulsar Ag would fulfill this. But would appreciate hearing what has worked well for you.

Thank you!

I read that Berkeley Audio Design ships a Straightwire cable with their products. I'm not sure if its intended to be an economical alternative or a worthy product.
I'm using the 1.5 meter Straightwire Data Link.

Can anybody speak to the idea that for SP/DIF a 25 foot cable should be used to eliminate the reflective nature of the digital signal passing through this connection?
