AES Cables: Kubala, Stealth, PAD, etc..experiences

For use between transport and DAC, which AES cables do people prefer and why? I've heard great things about people's experiences who moved to Stealth, Kubala (have a new ELATION AES), PAD, Synergistic, Harmonic Tech, etc...and would like to collect as much feedback as possible as I evaluate potential 'next moves'....thanks!

Hey Zephyr24069,

Take a look at my review here on the GON on the Stealth Varidig Sextet for details why I have not yet found a better sounding digital cable for my system. Of the cables that you mentioned, I have heard all of them except the PAD and still found the Sextet to out perform them. I'm still kinda amazed why people love the Kubala wires so much, I find them euphonic, not accurate in my experience.

Do you guys know which version of the sextet is considerd "better", the original xhadow connectors or the newer ones?

Or is the difference negligible?
