to rixthetrick:
I note and appreciate your expertise with respect to USB cables. I also noted that you used to make curious' cables. I am currently trying to find a better usb cable (than the one that came with the Chord Dave Dac). I appreciate good articulation, soundstage and correct timbre or tonal character of instruments (listen to classical and jazz). Would you please offer your opinion on which USB would best meet my criteria. The rest of my system consists of Rogue Audio's stereo 100 amp, RP-7 preamp, nordost valhalla cables and sonus faber amati tradition speakers.
Am I incorrect to assume that separating the power "lines" from the data "lines" is important?
Does the use or copper vs silver vs copper plated with silver make a tonal difference?
What do you "look for" in the cable construction to identify the quality and sound characteristic?
THANK YOU!!
