Recommendation for 3' USB cable from ultraRendu to Ayre DX-5 DSD
The ultraRendu with be on Ethernet provided by a Google MESH network and pass USB to the Ayre DX-5 DSD. Files will be from Qobuz and Tidal, downloaded, or ripped via Roon. Looking for recommendations for cables suitable for such a setup.

Another vote for Monoprice and specifically their Monolith USB. https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=33464 See the Monolith USB report by Duster on Audio Asylum. https://www.audioasylum.com/audio/cables/messages/17/176921.html I found it delivered better sound than a very fine Oyaide d+ neo Class A USB that itself was favorably reviewed by Karl Schuster for The Absolute Sound. https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/oyaide-neo-d-class-a-usb-20-cable/ Don’t let the ridiculously low price for the Monolith USB dissuade you from trying it. |
I highly recommend the DH Labs Mirage USB cable. I purchased it for a second system I have, but found it's so good, I now use it on my main system, instead of my Nordost Heimdall USB cable, which is 3x the cost. I've done an a/b and they're very close, but I give the Mirage the edge. It opens up the music more. I also purchased a AES/EBU cable from them with similar results. |
