Which USB Cable best for my new USB DAC

Thank you david_ten for the tip about The Cable Company’s lending program.  Sounds absolutely the right sort of way to go about choosing a cable and that’s what I plan to do.

Thanks for your comments on your Telurian Q Ultra Silver Cable.  They are pricey!

 Your comments about breaking in remind me again how amazed I always am when I read about the necessity to break in our audio products.  I suppose that is a tell tale sign that I’m not a trained engineer that understands what happens at the electron level.  Nevertheless, it seems to be a real effect, but I must say it complicates choosing cables when long break in periods are needed.  

Hello amg56. I don’t have a program to play from a NAS yet! I am in the difficult stage of trying to put everything together and without a good means yet of testing things out. For example, my nephew has my new Naim Uniti Core and most of my CDs which he is going to rip for me. He will also help me install and test everything. He’s in Louisiana and I’m in California and things will come together when he makes the trip here in about a month. And the Naim Uniti Core goes in my living room stereo system which is at the other end of the house from my computer system, a significant complication.
Meanwhile, the Audio Alchemy is the first piece of gear I have so far in the new streaming process. I will have to test the new Audio Alchemy at this point by playing YouTube or Deezer. I won’t have an app or a NAS until my nephew shows up at which point I will get technically challenged again because I’m not quite sure what I will have to do to send the NAS music through the Audio Alchemy.  It all just seems so complicated right now and constantly challenges me!

Good to learn the connector ends are different - thanks for that bit of info!

I tend to want to use at least “better” quality on the scale of good-better-best.  Besides wirh cables becoming really expensive, I just cant afford to play in that kind of high stakes game.
