USB Cable between Streamer and DAC
« on: 27 Sep 2021, 12:03 pm »
I'm looking to better my current Audioquest Carbon USB cable that's connecting an Innuos Zen MK3 to the Lampi Amber 3. Looking for a little smoother on the top end, yet retain good detail retrieval.

I would like to stay within $500. and I'm not opposed to buying used. What are you guys using and what recommendations does anyone have.

TIA, Mike

Just a minor brag (ok total and COMPLETE brag!) the gentleman who used to run Acoustic BBQ switched over to the ENO usb, until he heard Hapa Audio’s Aero USB.  The rest is history. 8) we have one spot left on our Aero tour (check out our forum here!) get it while it’s hot.  :icon_twisted:

I am currently testing Hapa's Ember USB cable, which for it's price is extremely good.  I am waiting to test the Aero cable which I expect will blow the Ember, and my previous reference USB cable, out of the Water.

Hey Mike,
Skip highly recommended the WW Platinum Starlight usb and I haven't looked back . . . It's a great cable to feed your A3!

To be totally honest, the cable is about 4 yrs old and I've gotten the itch to try something else. Cuz . . . why not?
