@lalitk i should have reached out to you initially. I'll look at your suggestions. Thanks!
USB cable recommendations
I recently purchased the Bricasti M3 for my system & am looking to upgrade my A-B USB cable. I currently have 2 USB cables that I used with my prior DAC (Qutest), a Cardas Clear that I preferred with my Qutest & an XLO ultra plus that I far prefer with my M3. It is OCC copper & actually sounds very good, but wondering if I can do better.
My target price is around $500 used, certainly willing to do less & willing to do more for the ’right’ cable. I am looking for a cable that is absolutely neutral.
I actually tried to buy an AQ diamond used yesterday, but was 2 hours late. Not sure if it was the right choice, but it was a great price & could resell if not right.
My virtual system is available, but my digital side is: Aurender N150 > XLO ultra+ > Bricasti M3 > Zavfino Arcadia > PSAudio BHK w/tele medical NOS tubes > Zavfino Fusion mk2 > SimAudio Moon 330A > Transparent + gen 5 > KEF Reference 3’s.
Please let me know your thoughts and/or recommendations. Thanks!

No worries. Correction to my last post, your Accuphase components are actually better (I’m trying to get there). While I’ve pretty much maxed out the potential of my Accuphase integrated, you still have room to realize the full potential of your exemplary system, IMHO. I know you are working towards it :-) |
I think Audience specializes in digital cables. I remember @lalitk recommended a Kimber Select USB to me at some point but I never got around to it as I sold my streamer. |
