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:

Hifimaniac,

I too have the Oyaide usb cable and it sounds wonderful! After about 200 hours of break-in, playing hi-res files through my Esoteric K-01's DAC, is as good as it gets, way better than Redbook CD via its transport.

Hifimaniac,
I notice from the virtual system section, you have the Beatis Audio server in a most awesome system. Tell me more as I am thinking of pulling the trigger on it. The most important question for me is does Redbook cd sound better ripped by the Beatis server or spinning in a good transport?

My personal experience thus far is that redbook sounds better in the Esoteric K-01 player's VRDS Neo transport than ripped from my PC. Hi-res files from the PC of course sound as good as and at times better than redbook cd in the transport.
