Audience +1. I prefer it over WW and a few other brands that I tried on my system.

Antipodes DX Gen 2 here and using Totaldac USB Cable/filter into W4S Recovery with outboard LPS then Curious Link into Metrum Pavane Level 3. Sound good to me but l haven't used the other cables being discussed here. The Totaldac USB is preferred over a full Curious Cable USB set-up for being a little more accurate and resolving without losing tone and musicality. |
I don't think they make any difference, and that is to be expected. See here for some telling tests: http://archimago.blogspot.nl/2013/04/measurements-usb-cables-for-dacs.html |
+1 Audience. I switched from the Wireworld Platinum USB cable to the Audience AU24 SE USB Dual End cable and it sounded much better. I immediately heard better bass, clarity, less noise and better separation. Th Audience USB duel end cable is excellent and I recommend it. If possible, you should audition some of these cables so you can best decide. |
My "real-world" experience led me to preferring a Verastarr Nemesis USB cable for my MacBook Pro to ExaSound E32 DAC link. In my system, it beat out the Curious, AQ Diamond, Synergistic Research Active, and yes, the Audience AU24SE USB cables. The Audience was very close, but I slightly preferred the Verastarr for it's slightly better organic and natural sound. |
