Best Digital USB cables under $ 300.00 ??
Hello to all:
I am seeking a digital USB cable under $300 that is a balanced and high performer
for the money. I appreciate any recommendations, and also specifics as to why you recommend a particular cable. The cable must be available with a USB-C
connector on one end.
Many Thanks!!!

I recommend looking at Curious Cables USB, a little over your budget ($350.00 new). I compared it to multiple other cables, some of them were in the $2500 range and in my opinion the Curious cable sounded the best. I just recently upgraded to their Curious Evolved USB cable ($550) and I think it’s phenomenal. |
The best digital cable I’ve heard--and the last one I bought--is the Oyaide DR-510. Price is under $300 for a length under 1M. I got the 1.3M. Note that the same cable can be had with BNC terminations (that one is DB-510). The DR-510 sounded noticeably better than the previous digital cables I used, so much so that I never stopped using it in my main system. Currently it carries signal from a DDC to my DAC, the MHDT Labs Orchid. https://www.thecableco.com/cables/digital-cables/digital-spdif/dr-510-db-510-digital.html |
