I found the Diamond to be the best match. Never heard the Crystal Cable though. My ethernet cable is also an AQ Diamond.
I believe Devialet driver is pure economic, but I am a bit surprise as I believe the Crystal cable provided with the D400 and D800 is better when burned properly than the AQ Carbon provided with the Od'A, this is quite disappointing and they may have done a bit better on this side, on the other hand may be they consider than people who are ready to spend the money for the Od'A are ready to spend the money on proper power and link cable. This a bit cheap attitude from a company who claim they want to be the best....
