simmerdown Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Hello. I am not a typical audiophile in that I'm looking for a USB 2.0 cable to connect to my new Lynx Hilo home recording studio interface designed for multi-track recording. The only audiophile cable that I've seen listing compliance with the USB 2.0 specifications is Supra. Supra also suggests that the 90 ohm impedance is important. Are there reasons that the audiophile cable manufacturers don't list the 2.0 specification? The Lynx specifically states that the cable should conform to USB 2.0 specs. I would buy an audiophile USB cable if I knew that there wouldn't be issues with this application. Lots of information has to travel back and forth along this cable, so could it be that the better sounding audiophile cables are designed for one-way travel and that perhaps syncing outgoing and incoming tracks is best left to non-audiophile cables? I really have no idea, just guessing here. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Jeff Link to comment
simmerdown Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 Thanks to both of you. I suppose it makes sense then for me to stick to the cables that specify USB 2.0 compliance. I'll be working at 44.1k most of the time with probably an occasional project at 96k. I do need about 3 meters, so I guess I'll go with the Supra. Thanks again! Link to comment
simmerdown Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 I went with the Supra, but I wanted to update that I just received a response from The Chord Company that their C-USB connectors and cable are both USB 2.0 compliant. rando 1 Link to comment
