Cable upgrade

@blisshifi  Will do.  Reason I’m looking is I have an LTA MZ2 (with upgraded LPS) I’ve been using as a preamp but want to use for my Stealths but can’t find the damn stock cable.  Thinking it’ll be a step up from the Singxer SA-1 I’m using now and may add some heft/weight to the mids/bass as well.  We’ll see.  And yes, the Empyrean II looks like it’d be in my sonic wheelhouse and look forward to trying them sometime soon.  

Maybe look at Headphonia cable reviews here

I know you said to limit cost at $200.  As @blisshifi stated the Arya Stealth can sound tipped up and requires a cable with a very balanced  frequency response.  I recommend listening to WyWires Red, one of the most balanced, detailed, dynamic cables I have owned.  Images are dense and staging wide.  True to timbre.  Read pro reviews as well.  Construction is robust and kink resistant.  I owned HP cables twice the price that were feeble by comparison falling apart in just over a year and needing repair.   I have a Red three years almost daily use and it looks new.  Go to www.wires.com.  Alex, the designer and president is sincere and down to earth. Only issue, it’s $349.  If you can increase the spend, well worth it. 

I have HiFiman Sundara Closed. I got a Blue Jeans cable. It sounds great and is well built. A little more microphonic than the stock cable that was too short. They even put on a 90 degree angled plug that works great on my set up. About $120 delivered.

I use Moon Audio Black Dragon cables for all my headphones and am quite pleased with them; I don't know if they're under $200 or not, but they shouldn't be much more if they are.
