Yes, I have the exact same cables purchased on your recommendation, thank you. And they have done a very decent job and will only be replaced if something else gives a significant improvement.
I used to be against the idea of expensive cables like you but, when I obtained an MBL CD transport some time ago (having written off CD replay for several years), I was very surprised at the sound quality so I got 5 AES/EBU cables in to test out that ranged in price from reasonable to quite expensive. The most expensive was £4,000 which I wouldn't pay myself, but it is still far from the very exotic end of the spectrum.
What was interesting was that the performance of each was directly in line with the price except for the cheapest one which I rated 3rd out 5. Otherwise, the ranking correlated with price. I'll let you know if we can improve on your cables.
"The most expensive was £4,000 which I wouldn't pay myself, but it is still far from the very exotic end of the spectrum." This price is almost 60% of the cost of Blu2. FOR A CABLE!
The manufacturer obviously knows that there are people out there with more money than sense. I am glad to hear that you are not one of those.
I know! But I suspect that I may be prepared to spend a little bit more than you.
Given the combined cost of Blu and Dave, I do think that it is worth a few quid on cables if it delivers an improvement. It may make no difference at all, who knows, but I'll find out for myself anyway. I find this forum very useful for information and ideas, but I only ever spend money based upon my own evaluation and what my ears tell me.

Looking forward to it though I hear longer may be better.
