Which of these USB Cables?
I am considering a different USB cable. Currently, I am using the iFi Gemini dual cable and I am able to run only the unpowered leg from the unpowered USB output of the Antipodes DX to a Metrum DAC that has a powered USB input. I do need the powered leg temporarily to "handshake" with the DAC and establish a connection.
I want a cable that has good body and excellent bass, in contrast to light and airy. It can be either a cable with power and signal together or a cable with power and signal in separate legs, but there must be a power leg. Contenders are;
Total DAC USB cable
JCat USB cable
JCat Reference dual USB cable
CAD USB cable
