I had an interesting experience upgrading my $3 Monoprice...

HDMI cables to wireworld starlight 6 hdmi. On Netflix streaming there was no video improvement, on SD dvds the color was more saturated played from my oppo bdp-83 to my Panny 55" plasma, while Blu-ray was smoother, with a bit better detail focus and more saturated colors. The picture quality was already very good using the Monoprice, IMO, so there was not a day and night difference, but noticeable and welcome. However, the audio was quite notably better on ALL formats, cleaner, with a much improved soundstage, played through my NAD M51 DAC to my ncore amps and Daedalus speakers.
On that basis, I can recommend the Wireworld Starlight 6, although at the list price of $199/m. it is kind of pricey. Look for used or closeouts at less than half.
FWIW, my experience with the wireworld Gold Starlight 5, 6, and 7 digital coaxes is that the 6 and 7 series are a big step up from previous versions.
