@v-fi - Totally agree. I’ll find the link to Mitch’s “Six Dac comparison” thread here on Audiogon. It’s actually here on the digital forum. I think you might enjoy the read. It’s a fun read exactly because it’s from the perspective of an enthusiast enthralled with a passion for music and the effect equipment can have on sound quality.
Will look forward to your observations on the various USB cables. Along with the Innuos reclocker it’s my next planned upgrade in 2025.
