but I wound up purchasing a Wywires Platinum USB cable. Wywires cables seem to be having a 40% off sale right now so it made the cable very affordable. Alex just informed me it is en route so I am eager to try it out. I already have a Platinum S/PDIF and really enjoy that cable. I’ll update this posting after I get to break the new cable in.
Are you by any chance affiliated with Wywires or are you Alex? It’s very common on this forum and perfectly OK.
