USB Cable Comparison Audience / Cardas / Purist / Stealth / Wireworld

I've been meaning to share my findings and impressions from a recent six cable comparison of USB cables.

What follows is a 'work in progress draft' that I will be finalizing and posting on a blogging site.

Getting this posted is a way of lighting a fire under myself so I get the write-up finalized. And to keep my promise to share my findings with a number of Audiogoners.

What is posted is the first phase of the 'shoot-out' involving four cables.

Please note:

- This is not finalized and I will be making edits, and adding information, etc.

- This is the first phase of the comparison.

- The second phase will be posted soon.

Hey @david_ten ... For you, I would think the newer version SR Galileo SX is the obvious, safe choice. Galileo UEF is older version.

Also, I have heard some good impressions on the Shunyata Sigma line from people I respect, which is cheaper than SR Galileo SX:

Put it in your list

@thyname  Thanks for your suggestions. 

I've had the previous generation Galileo UEF USB and LAN cables in system for a year plus now. Both are exceptional.

At this time I'm holding off until I choose a server / streamer and possibly a DAC. I do not want to get ahead of myself with a costly cable upgrade. My component choice will drive cable requirements.
