freesteve Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I have this cable also... quite nicely done with listening... I really really like Kimber Cable's USB Cu cable. All silver is a bit too bright for me, and all copper usually sounds a bit dull. The Cu has 6% silver, oversized conductors, and a decent insulation sheath on it. Sounds really great. Fast, accurate, no extended decay, no truncated decay either. Cheap too. Your taste may vary of course, but this really really works well with my system. -Paul HQ Player (#1) & Audrivana (#2) (wow! love the Apple w/music!!) .. these two software make my system "Amazing!", Purist USB- Benchmark DAC2 HGC (love it!), Purist Audio XLR , ATC SCM25A's (To Die For!) & Focal sub6 .

freesteve Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 actually just saw it a the tweekgeek blog... thanks for postingthat means it would have to hold it's own against the Lightspeed and Ultimate. I am using Purist XLR's from my Benchmark to my Focals's Do you recommend highly the Purist usb?

freesteve Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I'm using the Ultimate, but preferred the Lightspeed in my system. Thank you...

freesteve Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 All this debate over usb cable is definitely mind boggling to me. I had no trouble on deciding to get my Benchmark or choose my Focal speakers... As that great R&R songs goes... "... just take me by the hand Arlene, who do you love?" I need some aggressive guidance here.. Please!
