Lush^2 - Share your configuration experiences

[hykbooks]

Greetings

 

I have the Lush 2 and its 2 meters. I adore it but I have a problem that I long time ignored until it became a bit of an issue, whenever I connect the lush 2 to my dac ( whether it hugo tt2 or auris euterpe ) the slightest movement of my laptop causes the dac to disconnect from my laptop and i have to reach out to the back of the dack and press at the usb cable until the windows recognizes it again. This has really taken it toll on me, any solution to this. 

 

This only happens with the Lush 2 cable, while other cables work fine

 

I am using a Asus zephyrus laptop, and I tried all my usb ports and all have the same issue. I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling and still the same. I went into windows 10 setting to prevent power from disconnecting usb devices and still the same

 

I am really not know what to do anymore.

Yes, that is frustrating of course.

 

It seems logical that the connector suffers a little from wear.

Can't you solve it by fixing the cable close to the DAC, somehow ? (I mean something like putting a brick on it so it can't move easily).

Similarly you could but a toothpick (the small tip of it) or something like that between the outside of the connector and the chassis-connector) in the DAC. Whether on top, bottom or either of the side, is to be tried.

 

What I would do as a first is forcing the cable itself side-, up-, or down-ways, so it "squeezes" in the DAC-connector.

 

I sure hope that you will be able to solve it !

Hi Peter, I bought straight from your store and i adore the cable, but from day one it was like that, I have to press on the yellow cable part that  is covered with the black plastic where those colored wires are covered, at the end that goes into the usb input

In that case the receptor (DAC's inpout connector) has to be worn out. This happens very easily like this (but it is just a long shot !!):
You buy (or lend) a "decent" expensive cable; what a manufacturer may do is provide a larger connector (B side) so it sits nicely tight. Yes, but meanwhile a normal standard cable is too loose because of that. Again, it is a long shot.

 

What I already wanted to say yesterday is that by all means we are happy to put on a new B connector, for free. We can even go as far as applying the same as what I just told: make it somewhat larger (this is less than 0.1mm stuff). But the problem with this is the shipping costs. So you'd need to send it ($) and we need to return it to you ($$) which latter would even be 10 or so more than what we normally charge (because UPS is more expensive than what we charge).

... So that's why the advice to (try to) solve it differently. If that works you would be helped ...

 

Btw, there is no reason that pressing on the blue circled part would really do something internally, as the connections are more downstream (literally in the connector itself). But of course it would imply a small movement downward of the connector in the socket (is my thinking). Anyway, hanging a small weight on that position of the blue circle does not help ?

 

Just let me know what you like best. I only want to let it work for you. Really.

Best regards,

Peter

 

Thanks Peter, I will think about what to do as definitely this is the best ever usb cable sound wise. When I wiggle the usb connector itself in the socket nothing happens, it only gets recognized when I press squeeze that area. I will take my usb cable to a friend of mine who has other than the 2 dacs I have to test. But it has a to wait a bit due to covid 19 movement difficulties

Would your problem be solved if I send you a Lush^3 with 25% off ?

(this will only apply to you and not for 500 others who may detect a problem at pressing the cable - haha)

Please say Yes only if you considered the Lush^3 already (read: I am not trying to talk you into it).

At least you would have that in a couple of days (maybe even this week).

If you want this, just order it, and I will return the 25% (over the cable) instantly.

wow, I did not see a lush 3 coming, of course I will humbly and gratefully accept. I will send you a private message so i order the 2 meters one. I am so so thankful, you have no idea how much I love the lush 2 so the chance to get lush 3 is just wow
