Zavfino Majestic USB Cable

The Zavfino and DH Labs look like solid choices, and one being copper and the other silver-plated copper a comparison would be interesting. I’ll throw in the LavriCables Ultimate Silver Dual USB as another option that differs in that, as the name implies, it uses pure 5N silver wire and also because the data and power legs are physically separated rather than running together with shielding. These are impressive features considering the price of only $180 for a 1.5m cable. I’ve got four cables from them and have been thrilled with the sound of each. There’s a house sound that is very balanced, very detailed yet never harsh sounding and very natural, impressive tight and deep bass, excellent tonal properties especially for a silver cable, and outstanding 3D imaging and expansive soundstage where images pop out of a completely clear and transparent space. To me, they exhibit similar properties to my Acoustic Zen Silver Reference ll interconnects if that helps. The bad news is they apparently don’t accept returns as they’re custom made in Latvia, but FWIW I never even considered returning any of my four LavriCables, and there are several seasoned A’goners with very accomplished systems here who’ve also bought various cables from them and to a person have all been as extremely impressed with them as I have — even when comparing to much more expensive cables from much more well-known manufacturers. Yes they’re a bit of a gamble given the return policy but one I think is well worth making given the value, design, quality, and performance on offer. Just another different option to ponder FWIW, and best of luck.

@macg19 you are correct, the key of USP cable performance is ensure no bit errors. Fundamental frequencies in USB transmission are x480MHz, which is beyond of any sound system BW, but high freq. could affect bad-shielding analog cable signal next to it. Wondering if recommended USB cable replacement passed USB standard required mandatory tests. 

esthetics, look, and feel, still does play a role in high-end audio device consumer market. 

Hey, macg19, am  I understanding you right here? Have you auditioned different USB cables  , and found no difference in sound quality?

@macg19 @1971gto455ho Until you’ve replaced your amazon basics cables or monster cable rip offs with a quality HDMI and see the MAJOR difference in your picture quality, or USB for sound quality, you will continue to deprive yourself of what your equipment is capable of. Even moderate cost quality products will show very notable, undeniable differences, from Pangea, Furutech, Jenvings Supra, etc. The differences come in too many forms to list, but include from magnetic field compression due to poor designs, poor insulating materials & dielectrics which can store EMF in their effort to reject EMF, but then supersaturate and release it into the cable conducters, disrupting electron flow (poor EMF rejection); too small a cable, causing its own magnetic field to be compressed by the insulation, and restricting its own imaging abilities; too large a cable enabling electron flow at the outer edges of the conductors, which causes separation and reconstruction of the digital ’digits’ in the wrong sequence, causing muddled colors and sound, black saturation, detail motion,,, on and on; too much skin effect in analog cables, or even stranded digital cables, enabling jumping of electrons out of sequence and a diluted product at the endpoint (tv/amp/speakers/etc). You both bash audiophile cables on your assessment and limited knowledge of electron flow, without knowledge of how electron flow impacts audio or visual signal at the receiving end. You do so out of ignorance which you believe is well-informed information, and without experience, on your personal assumption that 4k in, 4k out is just a matter of total digits.

Do what makes you feel well about your own $ and systems, but when you come someplace like here, and bash others wealth of knowledge and experience far beyond your own, you only embarrass yourselves to the point of others ignoring you, to wit, when you may actually have something useful and educated to share, no one will listen. Good day to you.
