Solo streamer

I’m looking to replace my Cambridge CXN v2 with a streamer that has better SQ.  I want a streamer with no extra accoutrements: no DAC, storage capacity, etc., nothing but a streamer.  Is this available?

It’s the Shunyata Gamma USB cable

@audphile1 

I was using the stock USB cable

Again, preliminary observation:  I’m hearing details I never heard before, but I think the cable has to break in more for me to make a fair assessment of the overall sound.

Yeah the stock usb is decent. I have been using AQ Diamond and just tried Audience StudioOne. I’m a big fan of Audience cables but the AQ Diamond is excellent as well. In case Shunyata doesn’t work out, some alternatives…

Keep the streamer queue on repeat 24/7 and your news usb cable will be ready to go in about 10 days

Have to be patient for break-in.  
Hasn’t yet reached or surpassed the magic that was there previously.

@rvpiano where did you order your Shunyata cable from? I called a couple of sites in the US (Cable Company, Music Direct) - gave me a lead time of 3-4 weeks. I have a friend traveling over to Dubai from NY end of next week- so trying to see if I can snag one for myself.

Manu
