@mikey8811 thanks, by chance are your two sets of interconnects close to the same length, where you can swap them and put the Clear Beyond first (DAC>Pre) and the Clear Reflection from (Pre>Amp)?
Sometimes I do this to get an idea, where the leading cable closest to the source takes on the signature of that leading Cardas cable for a higher majority of the sound characteristic. It's not a perfect scenario like a full loom of course, but it does give an idea of the differences between the two cable types. Some like to say put your very best cable up front, first. There is some merit in that I believe.
