< $400 USB Cable Contenders Late 2021

Direct comparison with Supra, Acoustic Revive, Oyaide Continental 5S silver and Artisansilvercables, both single and double 5V. Immediacy, leading edge, reverb and soundstage all outstanding. Intona selects individual cables on maximum conformity with USB specs in terms of impedance and resistance. Galvanic isolation through Isolator leads to significant blacking of background as well as reduction of sibilance. The Intona cable outclassed the others, not by a small margin. I am a happy customer, no other association

@thyname I apologize and did not intent to offend you. My experience hasn't allowed me to typically find used deals at 40% of MSRP. So I mistakenly jumped to the wrong conclusion and regret my post. I value your input and am here to make friends and learn; not the other stuff.  Cheers,

@sdl4 @antigrunge2. Thanks, this is exactly the type of insights that help me. Appreciate it! Cheers,

Spencer, we have the same speakers. I use this https://www.bestbuy.com/site/audioquest-2-5-usb-a-to-usb-b-cable-black-coffee/4022249.p?skuId=402224...
Between a Mac Mini and a Berkley Audio Alpha USB. No problems, sounds great. I have tried more expensive cables and I can not hear a difference.

Spencer @sbank : no problem at all. Sometimes used deals on cables can be found below 50%, depending on how long the cable has been around. I appreciate your post. Very nice gesture.

I also have found from the experience over the years that I'd rather stretch the budget and get something that I like best, and keep for a long time, rather than keep getting in the rabbit hole of swapping cables over and over. Guilty as charged on this.
