Get a silver dragon cable spend 300 bucks form moon audio. Spend a few bucks don’t be cheap.
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:
- Audioquest Pearl, Forest & Cinnamon
- Wireworld Chroma 8, Starlight 8
- Supra
- Furutech Formula 2
- Atlas Element SC
- Chord C-USB
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 |
