Best cable material for clarity, sound quality, and soundstage?

OCC Copper to my ears is the most natural sounding cable.
Hybrid and plated cables are a big no no and have timbre issues, at least that is how I hear it.
Silver can accentuate peaks, and can sometimes sound harsh with sensitive iems.

++UPOCC Copper with good shielding and quality connectors for the win

worry more about the source first. I hear better sound from my m11 with a balanced copper cable than a single end silver cable.

also, cable material on a budget can be a minefield when it comes to special technologies and expensive metals like silver, you cant be sure you're getting what they're advertising.

I've never heard one, and I'm a skeptic on cables, but i read to hear decent differences in a cable based on its material alone will lead you to searching for the TOTL or near TOTL cables of around 500US and up at least.

if its anything below that, expect the sound to be relatively the same, with only changes to ergonomics and aesthetics.

Silver from Norne Audio, can't be beat.
