USB Cable of Choice from Mac to DAC?
« on: 21 Oct 2010, 04:17 am »
Is there any consensus on a good, inexpensive (Less than $100 is ideal) USB Cable to use for running from the Mac to the DAC? What about the Firewire cable from the the External Hard drive into the Mac?  I am using a Mac Mini.  I was looking at the Kimber USB Cable...thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Morgan

Consensus? Ha? that's like getting a consensus on pizza toppings.

And it is DAC dependent....some DAC manufacturers say it doesnt matter. Length of cable is a factor as well.

The Starlight is $80 for the 1m length.  If you want longer, price goes up quickly.  I whent with this one from Wireworld, the Utraviolet at about half the price.  Galen Carol seems to have the best price on these.
