Default Ibasso D2 Boa - Bad usb connector ?

Am I the only one with bad USB connection with the Ibasso D2 Boa ?

I tried *7* usb cables of all sizes and religions and none of them stay tight. They won't completely leave the the D2, but they will move enough to loose the connection. I have to remove and plug back the cable and power cycle the unit.

It's a bit of a pain, but assume they use the same mini usb female connectors on all units so I guess I can't be the only one to experience this.

Hey! I had problems too with some of the cables i had at home. Finally i ordered and received one good and fat USB cable, like this one and works to me perfectly with my D2 Boa

Seems that if there is no a very good cable, signal arrives but so weak, so Boa attenuates and is not able to work. Now it's perfect for me.

Cable ordered as my Boa has the exact same problem. I'll report if it works or not, but it'll probably take a while to arrive.

USB cable from Deal Extreme didn't work and didn't seem to fit any better

So were we just a few customers to get a bad cable (or a bad usb connector) ?
Looks like more recent customers have a different cable than us ....
