Solo streamer


I’m looking to replace my Cambridge CXN v2 with a streamer that has better SQ.  I want a streamer with no extra accoutrements: no DAC, storage capacity, etc., nothing but a streamer.  Is this available?

@rvpiano  If you still want to try a good USB cable and not pay a ton of money for it, DH Labs Mirage is very good. Upscale carries the line so that’s a risk free trial with their return policy. I used this cable and liked it. It’s worth comparing to stock USB to see if you like it better. DH Labs cables are great value for the money.

Thanks for the recommendations but I  think I’m going to stick with the stock cable.  The set is sounding good as it is.

I concur with @audphile1 advise. All you need a well constructed USB cable. Both DH Labs or Zavfino are reasonably priced and good bang for the buck! 

If you choose to get one of these cables, just plugged it in and continuing listening to music and not focus on the cable. Give it 2-3 weeks and then swap back the stock cable and let us know your impressions.
