Best Digital USB cables under $ 300.00 ??


Hello to all:

I am seeking a digital USB cable under $300 that is a balanced and high performer

for the money.  I appreciate any recommendations, and also specifics as to why you recommend a particular cable.  The cable must be available with a USB-C

connector on one end.

Many Thanks!!!

I settled in on Audioquest vodka for my HT system and AQ coffee for my 2 channel system. Bought both used and they check all my boxes.  Tried SKW, Pangea, lower levels of AQ and others as well but these sounded by far the best.  Great SQ  for the  money and in my mind the sweet spot in their line without getting into big money.

This USB cable from LavriCables offers high-end build features (including separate runs for data and power and 5N silver conductors) for much less than you’ll find elsewhere.  They don’t list USB-C as a standard connector, but I know they’re open to building custom cables so wouldn’t surprise me if they might be able to accommodate you for your specific needs so worth an email I’d think.

Another option would be the DHLabs Mirage that looks like it offers USB-C as an option…

Best of luck. 

DH Labs Mirage is a great cable.   Separate power / data insulation .  Sounds great between my Aurender N200 and Lab 12 DAC.    

I also have their D750 and  Air Matrix cryo RCA.  Really good cables for the money

Check out Wireworld Starlight. Great performing cables for not a lot of money. I like the earlier DH labs recommendation, too.
