I got a question for you, where exactly will you put the APureSound sleeve on the cable ? Directly on the plug ?
The heatshrink can go on a few possible different places depending on what termination type is going to be used on the cable. There are very many different terminations available.

The V2 cable was high grade silver plated copper wire. The V3 is not a plating. The construction of the wire is different so it is no longer a plating. This concept took around 2 years to design and months to be manufactured. In the end it was all very well worth it!

You are partly correct, but it is no longer a plating. There is in fact a lot more silver then copper in the V3, but so was the V2. I called the V2 wire silver plated copper because the idea of how the cable is constructed was familiar by many audiophiles and it was a plating.
