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!
I just purchased a Innous Pulsar, it should be here early next week. From what I've read, the Pulsar sounds more to my liking & fit with my system. If the seller of the Aurender N200 accepted my offer, I would have been pleased with that. I've read many positive threads on Innous Sense app compared to Aurenders Conductor. MMMV Now the hunt for power cords....... |
@danmar123 try Kimber PK14 Ascent |
@kirkwallace I am curious. I wonder if using the N200 with USB and switching up to the N20 but still using the USB if the advantage of the better streamer and clock would diminish? Although the one advantage remains and that is the word clock option on the N20. It is my belief that the upgrade would be minor? How are you liking the upgrade? Thanks for you feedback, I appreciate it. FWIW I use the Audience Frontrow reserve USB. |
@audphile1 Thanks. Now that cord is recommended for the streamer? Do you think it can perform well with my DAC? |
@danmar123 yes it should be nice on both. I use it on my Meitner MA3i. |
