Will a quality USB cable make a difference....
Baka1969... I'm interested to hear your experience.One of the things I've discovered is that it takes some considerable time for an audio USB cable to settle in and reveal its inherent qualities. For example, some cables attached to my MacMini/DAC...

Review DB Audiolabs Tranquility DAC
I agree completely with your comments about the Tranquility DAC and my experience with Eric and everyone associated directly with dbaudiolabs. They are very interested in helping Tranquility users make the most of their DAC and related systems.I m...
