Thanks for these helpful responses. I was thinking I’d buy one type of cable and be good, but I can see that having both will be best. No sense in frugality at this point.
@fthompson251 in what ways has the Hermes improved the sound of the Venus II?
AES/EBU or USB into Denafrips Venus II
I have a Denafrips Venus II on the way and am wondering what the best connection is from my Lumin U1 Mini. I asked Vinshine and they prefer USB over AES. I have read several in this forum say that AES is clearly better than USB. The more I read, the confusier I get. I know this can be system dependent, so I would like to hear from those that have compared. I’m would prefer warmth over detail. Specific cable recommendations would be helpful. Thanks.
