Currently I'm just using an apple cable, but I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a Firewire cable that would offer similar benefits ...Wireworld (to my knowledge) don't offer Firewire, and from a brief read around, it seems AudioQuest Diamond seems the *best* available.
If anyone has compared the AQ Diamond to their Carbon I'd love to hear your thoughts, and if anyone has any other recommendations, again I'd love to hear them.

I have a Weiss INT202. Bought it with Oyaide/Neotech FW cable that Weiss also sell. Also bought an AQ Carbon. I can't hear any difference between them. As an aside, I have also used the DAC202 extensively. In my experience, Weiss equipment is the least influenced by cable choices of any digital products I have used.
I also have the distinct impression that Firewire itself is far less sensitive to issues such as noise over the power wire, impedance reflections, etc, that seem to affect USB.
