Couldn't agree with you more! You articulated exactly what I've been noticing for several months now. This cable connects 2 Sonore OMD's and isn't going anywhere!
From listening impressions there seems to be a pattern that 24AWG DAC cables are superior sounding to 30AWG cables.
For example the Melco is 24AWG while the Taiko original mentioned by @Nils is 30AWG.
I don't want to claim that the Melco is superior only because it uses 24AWG, far from it.
But when comparing DAC cables it makes more sense when all cables in the comparison use 24AWG wiring and have the same length.
