USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole

@jeffreyw That's good to know.  I bought an Inakustic Reference USB with my Innuos streamer.  I've not owned any other higher quality USB cables to compare. 

A $100 coax cable can beat a $1000 USB cable. I jumped off the USB wagon after spending thousands on cables. I strongly advise to find another way to get the signal into the DAC. Maybe a DDC.

That really depends on the transport (some only have USB, some have a bunch of options), the DAC (some have much better USB implementation than others), the coaxial cable, and the USB cable involved. Sometimes coaxial is the better choice and sometimes USB is.

I don’t think you can return this, but their cables offer great value.  Here you get 5N silver with separate cable legs for data and power, neither of which you get from other manufacturers unless you pay big $$$ and this will set you back all of $150.  A better value I don’t think you’ll find.  I’ve got several of their cables and they’re all excellent in terms of both quality and value.  Best of luck.

It will depend on the equipment you are using.  I tried a well reviewed Audience AU24 SE cable into a Bel Canto REF Link usb converter and it made no significant difference.  However, in my current desktop set-up which consists of MacBook Pro direct to DAC, the USB cable makes an easily discernible difference.  I changed from an Apple branded USB-C cable to a Logitech MX Master 3 mouse charging cable which improved sound quality.  I am now upgrading the connectors on Audience AU24 SE to see how it compares to the Logitech cable.
