USB Cable: Oyaide, Cardas, Shunyata....


Hi friends,

I have to buy USB cable to connect my Mac mini to my Cary DAC. My budget: 100 to 200 u$s

In this price range I red good opinions about the Oyaide Class S, Cardas Clear and Shunyata Venom.

I will apreciate your opinion and recomendation.

Hi jwm,

I have read that the Wireworld Platinum is excellent. Would you be so kind to elaborate on the areas where you find it superior to the Curious?

Guess not. I found your prior post on this topic (FLAC vs WAV 1/21/16). Interesting.

I think maybe preferences could be system-dependent and person-specific.

ricred1 - I will audition a friend’s Platinum 2.0 next weekend and give you my impressions of it vs the Curious as an additional data point to jwm’s.

Does the Cary DAC require power through the cable or data only?  That could make a difference in your selection of a cable.
