Cerious Technologies Matrix USB cable

Robert you are a rare breed of honesty and integrity.
To others - Bob is working on the problem with longer length of the cable. I ordered a 1.6 meter from Bob I need slightly more than 1.5 meter hence the odd length.The first one came and it is not working - computer does not "see" the cable. Device manager could not detect the connected devices.We though it was a faulty cable and Bob sent another one.

And this was the results:

1. Connected to my main music server computer to berkeley audio design alpha usb to EMM Labs Reference DAC - sound has static noise - loud noise - non stop – while music is playing at the same time.
2. Connected to my main music server to Bryston BUC-1 USB converter to a Mark Levinson 30.6 reference DAC - computer did not see the connection.
3. Connected to my main music server directly to the EMM Labs DAC directly - no sound. And computer did not see the connection.
4. Connected to a MacBook Pro and a Musical Fidelity M1 DAC - works.
5. Connected to a MacBook Pro and Bryston BUC-1 USB converter - no sound - computer do not see the connection.

It is most certain the length is problem. All components work otherwise with my existing cables.

I will work with Bob to see if the length problem could be solved.
For you reference my main system is as follow:

Custom Build Music Server computer

EMM Labs Reference DAC

Berkeley Alpha USB

Bryston BSU -1 USB

Mark Levinson 30.6 DAC

Mark Levinson 32 preamp

Mark Levinson 532 amp

PS Audio P20 Power Generators

Egglestonworks Andra III SE speakers

All cable are from Cerious Tech.

Matrix Digital

Matrix XLR interconnects

Matrix and GE power cords like 7 of them or 8

Matrix Speaker cables.

Except two Power cords from Nordost

After you see the system lprules1962 has you can see why I trust him as a beta problem solver...

I am using a Transparent USB Reference ($695. retail )but I got a B stock cable for $425) between Roon and Ayre DAC.

Unfortunately, due to the back order status of the Roon when my streaming system was installed,  I never tried  the Roon w/o the USB cable.

The difference was noticeable immediately with both the Roon Nucleus and Transparent cable connected.  The next morning  after an overnight burn-in (part of the suggested 80 hours) it sound even better.

As a guess I would assign 60- 70% of the difference to the cable and the balance of the server.

emtrey,
