Have not tried Schiit cables. I use Bluejeans for now and recently tried a Zu Audio Mission pair of ICs that PumaCat sent me to play around with. I liked the Zu Missions but they are not as well shielded as the Bluejeans and the tube Valhalla 2 had some barely audible noise that the ICs were picking up. So the Zu are used with Asgard SS and Bluejeans are on my Valhalla.
Of course I will try a variation of cables to see if I can extract more performance out of the single ended Asgard and Valhalla.
With the Bryston BHA-1 I use XLRs from Gumby and have tried a few different sets I have on hand such as Guerrilla Audio and Zebra Cable.
I wouldn't get too obsessed with the shoes. You can try the Kimber Hero, Cardas CrossLink, Nordost White Lightning, etc.. all slightly under the price of the actual headphone itself. I've tried them all in the past with other gear and they are a solid value if you just have to "dress up" your gear.
