I stopped using your cables as the connectors are 180 out from what I want on the SD 722 inputs.
FWIW, you can easily change the angle that the cable exits with those RA neutriks. The RA neutriks allow 7 different exit angles, every 45 degrees other than straight up (over the silver unlock tab on the 722).
If you're interested in changing them, you'd need to unscrew the screws holding on the cap to the connector, take out the plastic insert, push the bottom portion of the connector up into the connector housing to unseat it, rotate the bottom portion to the new angle you'd like, reseat it, and then put everything back together. I don't think you had the 722 when you got the cables from me, or at least I wasn't aware. Getting those RA neutriks to fit on the 722 is a bit tricky, but they will fit. Just need to alter the exit angle of the two cables from each other, so something like this: \ /
Sorry you didn't find the cables to your liking.
I had been curious though about what you thought of the sound of them vs the Canares if you ever did a comparison. Obviously, you might like the sound of the Canares better, or one could easily prefer the sound of the silver-clad cables, but not enough to overcome the difficulties you found with the cables (eg., lack of flexibility). I've used three different kinds of Audio Magic cables, the Xtremes, the hyperconductors, and the Sceptors with the clear jacket -- those Sceptors sounded great, but man they were just way too much of the PITA to deal with. Of the 3, all sounded great, but the hyperconductors were the only ones I really found easy enough to use.
