Good USB C Cable

I’d get a DHLabs interconnect. I if you are like me, a long term audiophile then having a Hugh quality budget interconnect "laying around" is an OK thing. It will be excellent quality and great sounding but not set you back like a high end interconnects.

Typically I have a few DHLabs interconnects of different types laying around. They come in handy when some new equipment comes through, or I change one of my systems... or a friend needs something. Or as stage one of a new system. Highly recommended.

If you are just trying the DAC out. I would try all the different inputs and see if one stands out. That should give you a sense of whether you want to keep the DAC and its performance level. Since USB vs other digital is typically going to be the biggest difference... because you are comparing very different strengths of streamer and DAC this should tell you what you want to know. I'm guessing the USB is not going to be the strength of this DAC since USB-C is typically portable device. But just a guess.
