I moved on totally from Wireworld AES/EBU (110-ohm), 75-ohm and 50-ohm quite a while ago. Based upon experience, Shunyata makes a digital cable line that suits my needs and what I listen for much better. One man's opinion and I'm not looking to start a holy war.
I would suggest Shunyata Sigma AES/EBU v2 or if you can swing more, the new Omega AES/EBU. I've done the progression of Shunyata cables up from the various offering levels (all v1) and then v2. Sigma v2 is their best yet, only thing that beats it is OMEGA.
If your budget or preference is a more moderate price, look at Alpha v2 digital from Shunyata; their impact on the system beat Sigma V1 in testing here and anything else I've owned including Kubala Sosna ELATION, various Acrolink-Mexcel Esoteric-branded cables (which are excellent and I'd label my #2 of all time).

Once you hear the Shunyata Omega cable, there is no going back. It's simply the best sounding cable I've ever tried. This goes for the entire line including the power cord, USB, SPDIF, AES/EBU. I believe it's only a matter of time before the Omega interconnects and speaker cables show up.
