With my 440-Pro, I've always preferred RCA -> AES.
I've used AQ Diamond, then moved to AQ Wild and now with WEL Sig. The difference as you move UP is subtly a healthy increment. As more silver content increases, the sound gets more analog, warmer and intimate. Noise levels drop and the background keeps getting darker and more black. Soundstage gets bigger, dynamics expand and you definitely get a feeling that you're listening to a more matured and a very well groomed cable.
Warning: It is addictive so it's difficult to go back.
