USB Cable


I'm considering upgrading a generic 5 meter USB from pc to DAC.   Opinions please on DH Labs Mirage vs Transparent Audio.  Has anyone had an opportunity to compare  in a quality system?

@tvrgeek I am sorry I had to look all that stuff up as it is not traditional audiophile or even mid fi gear.  Now back to my original question you never answered. What is in your audiophile setup, what is the audio equipment you currently use for listening for pleasure, not test equipment. 

Sorry, I misunderstood you. 

My main system is my own speakers, Seas / SB based, with a Peerless low Q sub. O-Audio plate. DSpeaker Cinema DSP on it for the room nodes.  Vidar main amplifier, Today Topping DX3pro+ DAC, but I have 5 and a new one coming today. PC based server, JRiver FLAC files.  EQ for the mains is a Schiit Lokius.  It blocks the deep bass from the mains and rolls off the top just a little as my room is a bit bright.  Not using any DSP eq to the mains. 

My desktop is my own speakers, Dayton/Vifa XT-25 based, Sub etc. Using my desktop JRiver, JDS Atom+ dac and amp feeding a Schiit Rekkr.

I spend a lot of time reading in my guest/HT. JRiver on the PC, Anthem AVR and again, all my own speakers. 

My workshop downstairs is leftovers.  ELAC speakers, Fosi V3 amp and an old Kenwood tuner.  Enough to play the "Classical Station" in the background. I had a Creek on it, but that was a shame to waste such an amp, so I sold it in favor of the Chi-Fi wonder. Upstairs I stream to a laptop and feed an antique SMSL Tripath amp to whatever set of old speakers at the time. 

@tvrgeek Nice, the Vidar amplifiers are very nice. Thank you helps to put things in perspective, with your post.
