Balanced recommendation please

Does anyone have any experience with Sommer Cable Peacock Twin (Shotgun) Balanced Cable? I want to use it to make balanced splitter cables to connect my Topping EX5 to my iLoud MTMs and Presonus Sub8. And it looks ideal for my little project...

I currently have XLR to TRS cables going from my Topping EX5 on my desk, down through a cable snake to my Sub8 on the floor. I then have another set of TRS to TRS cables going from the Sub8 output back up through the cable snake up to the MTMs mounted on my standing desk.

Building a splitter cable would:
I already have all the Neutrik XLRs and Re'an TRS connectors and I can get 5m of the Sommer cable for just over £20...


Thomann sell it a bit cheaper per metre, but they want £10 delivery, so it works out more for this small amount...

 
The Sommer Cable Peacock twin is nice to work with and i'm happy with the results...

I want to buy a Mogami cable with XLR connectors from Amazon, audiophonics or somewhere else in the EU.

I need 1.5 - 2m to connect my DAC streamer to my Integrated amp (Yamaha AS2200).

Is the

Mogami 2534 Quad Stereo Pair Ok ?​

Many people use quad star for balanced lines. But based on the reading I did a while back, I lean towards single twisted pair (STP) designed for balanced audio cables, such as Mogami W2549 ("High Quality Balanced Microphone Cable")
