I've received my new full optical HDMI cable and it works well. Highly recommended in case anyone is interested:

Using it between my PC which has an RTX 3090 GPU and an LG OLED C9 TV.
So now that the PC is optically isolated from the TV, I've done more comparisons between:
PC --- USB --> Singxer --- AES --> Devialet
and
Red --- USB --> Singxer --- AES --> Devialet
The PC sounds remarkably good now. The Red still sounds better overall. Red has a bigger soundstage than the PC, the mids are more forward, and it sounds overall clearer. The PC sounds a bit darker.
