USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole

I don’t think you can return this, but their cables offer great value.  Here you get 5N silver with separate cable legs for data and power, neither of which you get from other manufacturers unless you pay big $$$ and this will set you back all of $150.  A better value I don’t think you’ll find.  I’ve got several of their cables and they’re all excellent in terms of both quality and value.  Best of luck.

It will depend on the equipment you are using.  I tried a well reviewed Audience AU24 SE cable into a Bel Canto REF Link usb converter and it made no significant difference.  However, in my current desktop set-up which consists of MacBook Pro direct to DAC, the USB cable makes an easily discernible difference.  I changed from an Apple branded USB-C cable to a Logitech MX Master 3 mouse charging cable which improved sound quality.  I am now upgrading the connectors on Audience AU24 SE to see how it compares to the Logitech cable.

I have been using Cardas USB and it has been end game for me. I even tried their hi speed usb and though it was more sparkly up top I preferred their standard cable. It’s so natural sounding it’s like no cable at all. 

Not a peep from OP in 3 days. I guess he’s already deep in the rabbit hole…so deep that there’s no internet. 

@audphile1 Lol, made me laugh  

Easy to get lost in the rabbit hole, but that's for sure the way to learn to discern.
