I have owned alot of Supras with no issues.That bad? I heard similar things about Scotland...so it's Sweden too?
Cheers!
But Ofcourse its possible that someone in the factory have an accident early in the morning or late.
Supra has a very strict quality control, I believe they double check all their cables. So maybe you just was unlucky.

Me? No...all my Supras are perfect.
Someone else had issues, not me. I was just joking a bit about visiting pubs on weekends, etc. and going to work on Mondays
Cheers!

had a chance to test out a few popular usb options.
supra 2.0
oyaide neo
viborg uc01
the viborg blows the others out of the water. I was surprised how poor the supra and oyaide sound in comparison.
I'm a bit hesitant to try the supra excalibur at this point.

I do think that the Viborg is the same tier and the price for US buyers tends to be at $100 while the Excalibur is ~ 30% more. But I bought mine from Denmark and it was here in 2 days. And was the same price as the Viborg.im sure i'll get curious and try it at somepoint
Don't see much use to get anything other than one of those 2 , at least with my budgetary alignment so to speak.

It's called Snobbish But Broke
I have that exact cable, and thus far zero issues. But then again, I don't go moving it around from place to place. It's a "this is your permanent place cable".
In fact, none of the Supra cables I bought has had issues...

That's a nice little hoard you got there.I have that exact cable, and thus far zero issues. But then again, I don't go moving it around from place to place. It's a "this is your permanent place cable".

Whats the difference in those power cables?
The silver power cable is a little brighter (upper end) with slightly more detail and spaciousness, but at the cost of some bottom end. It also depends on what it's matched to.
If I use the silver cable on my DAC, and the copper (normal) cable on my headphone amp, I get more bass, but if I switch those - copper cable on the DAC, and silver cable on headphone amp, I get better upper range and 3D like space, but at a loss of bass. I explained that > here.
At the end of the day, I went with the better low end so silver cable to DAC, copper cable to headphone amp. In my link there's a video by Lachlen (Passion for Sound), and he also notes what I note as well. At the end of the day, it's all about system components and matching.
Anyway, I'm awaiting another copper cable from this > seller (USA), whom, I got the above cables from to either replace the silver cable on the DAC and use the silver on my CD player, or simply use the copper cable on the CD player. I won't know until I get it and experiment.
Not really a fan of the silver cable as I find it a tad too bright for my liking, plus the loss of bottom doesn't help. On the plus side, I do love its detail and spaciousness.
This > my setup.
