On a lower budget, I would look at Signal cables. They compare very well to multi thousand dollar cables. It's a true 75 ohm cable and is silver based.
If you have deeper pockets, I would look at the a KCI Silkworm Pegasus digital IC (I use one with WBT Silver RCA plug and a Vampire BNC connection on the other end). This is an extremely smooth beautiful sounding digital cable. The details are all present but there is a smoothness in the sound that compliments digital source components.
Other than that, I've had awesome experiences with Kubala Sosna AES Interconnect, Purist Audio Dominus, Virtual Dynamics Revelation and a few more. Anyhow, my current all round recommendation is the KCI Pegasus. John is an amazing gentlemen who really knows what cable building is all about.
The cable is unshielded, uses pure gold, silver and platinum. He barely charges the cost of materials and has a very small markup. Buying direct from manufacturer saves you a huge amount. My one meter cable was about $899 a meter if I'm not mistaken. If you weren't buying direct from the manufacturer, this cable would be about the typical markup which is minimum 5x, about $4500.
Anyhow, hope you get a good digital cable as it is one of the most important cables in the system. It is the cable at the root and heart of the system and signal integrity only degrades from there onwards. I urge you to choose wisely.

I found QED & Chord has better reviews.They are in my Budget.
Which one to go?
Even your thought on Straight wires/cables which are supplier of many audio companies?

Yeh but do you have any review on Budget coaxial?any link?
chord cable offer is upto Diwali,then price will increase to 1500.
Hi the cable in question should be ' CODAC SILVER PLUS ' !! I think this should be the one you are getting for 1300 INR !!!! Can you pls check & update on it ! CODAC SILVER PLUS is selling for 4500 INR ............Go for it If you are getting it for 1300 ! Prodac cable will be too costly for your system aprox 7-8k or else go for Prodac if you can get good discount on that too !!

Hi IMO straight wire is better then QED.........again its a personal taste. Pls check both by listening to same song on same system ........have you checked the price for both of them ?
spiro,
like rb9 says profigold is quite good. I have bought them. they should be enough.
Do not go too much in to this, it is economical and from a reputed company from europe. get that. That should suffice for your requirement.
