It's an excellent cable and it seems that most who try it agree. Another cable also worth trying is the TotalDac one:

At 390 euros for 2M it's quite a bit cheaper than the Diamond and to my ears certainly equal in performance. It has quite a unique construction and is very different from anything else on the market: it has a massive choke comprising of dozens of ferrite rings, these supposedly act as a low pass filter.
I've also got a couple of Sablon ethernet cables here to try and will report back once I get a chance.
