USB Cable: Oyaide, Cardas, Shunyata....


Hi friends,

I have to buy USB cable to connect my Mac mini to my Cary DAC. My budget: 100 to 200 u$s

In this price range I red good opinions about the Oyaide Class S, Cardas Clear and Shunyata Venom.

I will apreciate your opinion and recomendation.

I had the Venom USB and recently upgraded to the Curious.  The Curious is better. However, I enjoyed the Venom and still think that it is a great cable, much better than its price might indicate.

Hi jwm,

I have read that the Wireworld Platinum is excellent. Would you be so kind to elaborate on the areas where you find it superior to the Curious?

Dave
Guess not. I found your prior post on this topic (FLAC vs WAV 1/21/16). Interesting.

I think maybe preferences could be system-dependent and person-specific.

ricred1 - I will audition a friend’s Platinum 2.0 next weekend and give you my impressions of it vs the Curious as an additional data point to jwm’s.
