For me, the Monolith USB runs from Seagate hard drive (ripped CD storage) to Auralic Aries Mini and from the Mini to a Schiit Eitr USB>SPDIF converter. Am using the Silverstar 75 SPDIF cable between Eitr and Gungnir DAC. The Gungnir was bought back when Schiit wasn't offering USB ports on their DACS (no longer the case) hence the Eitr. Did have the Gungnir upgraded with their Multibit mod but didn't bother with USB for it.
Monoprice Monolith USB pricing is still in the $10-$20 range depending on length. Ridiculous, but don't laugh until you've tried it!
