Which digital cable to use with a Benchmark DAC-1

Looking for a good digital coaxial cable to use with my Benchmark DAC-1. Presently thinking of using the Stereovox HDXV. Do some of you have something to suggest ? Is there as much difference between digital cables as there is between interconnect ?

The transport is a Yamaha MCX-1000 music server.

Thank you

In my experience there are significant differences in the sound quality of digital cables. They definitely do not sound the same. The transport to DAC connection is critical to the sound of your entire system. I would suggect that you narrow your interests to 2 or 3 cables then audition them in your system from the Cable Company. Keep the one you like and return the rest. I don't know what your connections are as far as inputs and outputs but I would suggest in order of preference: XLR, BNC, RCA. Good luck.
I am also using the Stealth Sextet.
