Best budget USB
Apologies, I know this has been asked before, and perhaps this question should be on the Cables forum. However, I thought I'd refresh the question, as some of the previous instances are quite old, and it has struck me that the digital thread generally has a better insight into USB cables.
I've bought a 2nd-hand Innuos Phoenix USB to fit between my Zenith Mk3 and Hegel H390. I also have an FTA Sinope, which I intend to fit between Phoenix and Hegel.
Unfortunately, the Phoenix didn't turn up with the original USB. And assuming the USB before the Phoenix is hugely less significant than the USB after, and given I'm now WAYYY over budget I'm looking for something less extravagant than the Sinope.
In the UK, the go-to outlet for choice is Futureshop, and if I limit myself to approx £100 ($120),the selection is:
Any preferences?
Thanks,
Mark
My understanding is that the shorter a USB cable is the better, correct? As opposed to a digital coax which needs to be about 1.5 meters to prevent "echo" of the signal in the cable. @soix Thanks for posting, I'm going to give that cable a try. Regards, barts |
@soix Yes, I will to post, the OP says "I decided to give the new Supra Excalibur a go. I already have their Ethernet cable and like it very much. Plus, it'll be here tomorrow, unlike the Lavris which would be quite a wait." Was that your experience? @lalitk I read the thread that you had mentioned and honestly thought it was bit "off the rails"! Just my opinion and we know how that goes...LOL Regards, barts |
