Thanks for your positive comments Jon; nice to know someone else is familiar with this choice! Great quality/value for the dollars. Other audiophiles should know about. A lot of over priced cables out there. My cable sounded great right out of the box, but did go through a painful break in but the magic has returned and the sound via this cable is superb. So much for there not being any difference in USB cables
Anyone else impressed with Oyaide's USB cable?
Have always liked the Oyaide product line of AC receptacle, Power Cord connectors, etc. The construction is very high quality. I decided to try their double shielded USB cable with Platinum and Rodium over Bronze. It arrived today and the fist thing I noticed is how much tighter the connection is to my music server and DAC. The sound improvement was immediate; greater ease in the music; better detail,extension, etc. This is not a break the bank product; very reasonable for the price paid at Amazon. Here's the link:
