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

+1 ~ "USB is not the best interface for audio"

Good recommendations here on Venom and Curious cables. If you’re not planning on replacing mini, I would look at Schitt’s Wyrd Decrapifier. It simply works in eliminating the inherit noise and glitches. They also offer 15 days in home trial.

I am using Wyrd along with Wireworld Platinum and very happy with the sound. To my ears, WW Platinum is bit more natural sounding compared to few others I have tried but it is pricey.

I have Wireworld Platinum. I'm curious about trying the Curious USB cable. Has anyone compared them to each other?

wireworld is better I tried them both.

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?

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.
