At the moment I use two analog interconnects - Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 and Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference II.
Blue Jeans sounds in my system quite decent. It gives me dynamic, full-bodied sound, but a bit grainy and tones are not as nice as in my Acoustic Zen.
Acoustic Zen was my upgrade from BJC. It is smooth, provides more space, better soundstage, beautiful tones, more extention in bass and highs. It's musical, too! Unfortunately in my system this cable made mids (especially vocals) almost disappear! It's such a shame as I like almost everything about this cable. Well, maybe it could also have more resolution.
As BJC and AZ don't give me the sound I am looking for, I decided to look further. I've gone through lots of reviews and impressions of cables and finally come across Zu Mission interconnect which is within my budget (<500$) and looks promising.
Could you please tell me what the differences between Zu Mission and Acoustic Zen or BJC are? What is the sound characteristics of Zu Mission interconnect?
I'd appreciate your help as in my country I am not able to borrow too many cables for a trial.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will check it out.
Sorry, I've just realized there is a mistake in subject of my post. The system remember my last subject and put it automatically (some kind of bug in the forum I suppose).
The title should be:
"Zu Mission interconnect vs Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference vs BJC"
The Oyaide DR-510 is an outstanding 5N (99.9995%) pure solid core silver digital cable. From what you described, it should provide what you seek:

Hi, thank you for your suggestion.
I've been considering the Oyaide cable, but apparently it is not a very fast and I need more dynamic and speedy cable.
If you mean the Oyaide cable lacks PRAT or sounds plodding in some manner, I don't find that to be the case. Perhaps you've read a report in another forum that mentions an incredible comparison to a very different type of cable. However, if you seek a fast sounding cable with a lighter touch than the Oyaide cable but with plentiful macro/micro dynamics, seriously consider the new solid core pure OCC silver VH Audio Pulsar Ag digital cable. It's perhaps the most transparent sounding cable I've ever experienced. See link:
...the Pulsar Ag with the Pulsar Cu, and if so, how would you characterize them on their own and in relation to each other? I am considering trying a Pulsar Cu as a digital cable from transport to DAC. Then there is the matter of optimum cable length for the best sonics...
The two Pulsars may share the same VH Audio house sound, but the silver Pulsar Ag simply sounds like a higher performance cable, as silver digital cables are often considered compared to copper digital cables. However, it's not just the metallurgy that's different, the Cu features a smaller cross section center conductor with a solid Teflon dielectric, while the Ag features a foamed/cellular Teflon dielectric and a larger center conductor. As for length, the Pulsar Cu is best selected as a 1.5m digital cable, while the Pulsar Ag is fine as short as 0.5m or as a 1.5m length cable, in my experience. See reviews:
