USB Cable

I'm considering upgrading a generic 5 meter USB from pc to DAC. Opinions please on DH Labs Mirage vs Transparent Audio. Has anyone had an opportunity to compare in a quality system?

Also, you can run the streamer to a Wi-Fi extender or Mesh node to an outlet near your system and not have to buy a 5m USB cable AND have much better sound. Upgrading a USB cable from a PC is basically putting lipstick on a pig. Sorry, but it’s true.

This is, to say the least, a controversial statement. I’ll take the other side of this one and choose a good streamer over a PC any day. Anyone else wanna chime in here?

Fitting that it contains the word “mental” in it and also makes it sound like the cult that it really is — killing two birds. Hey, “ain’t” wasn’t initially in the dictionary either until it became part of our vernacular, and I plan to do my part to eventually get your word in there too!
