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

I second the Curious cable. Keep it as short as you can

$200 budget... what is the cheapest LPS for a mac mini??

I had the Venom USB and recently upgraded to the Curious.  The Curious is better. However, I enjoyed the Venom and still think that it is a great cable, much better than its price might indicate.

+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?
