What's the best USB audio cable for the money?

That depends some cables sounds different and some not.

The Jitterbug depends on your gear, here I use the Jitterbug for my hifi-nerves, but I can't hear the difference.

Supra Excalibur on the other hand is a big, big improvement, on almost all gear I suppose.

It's a very big difference between Excalibur and the cheap white Supra High speed.

The Cheap is way warmer and lack abit detail.

Excalibur is detaljed in all register and have a wide soundstage.

It's silly to claim that this is placebo, it is consensus on the matter from folks who try cables.


Supra is Swedish. And you are from Sweden. Bias right there.

Just sayin

Come on man. You must be young right?
That is a very badly conducted test, that doesn’t even test the correct things.
That’s the only thing he could do since he doesn’t have an AD or Analyzer.
lol, pardon I’m not laughing at you but Lahlan who made the video.

It’s all good. We can have two different opinions. Don’t have to agree on everything.

Cheers
I actually have a ‘ better’ much more expensive USB cable which I mentioned I can’t hear a diff with.

Anyway. We can all have diff opinions and observations.
Supra is Swedish. And you are from Sweden. Bias right there.

Just sayin
And yet, you attack those having a different opinion. Who's young?

Hahaha, that mere observation happens every ten pages...someone comes to say...hey...you hear :poop:
Yes, yes...everyone knows that already :)

Cheers!


Well an attack would be more of a personal thing.
“ hey , you have bad taste in blah blah blah “
Or
“ you don’t know what you are talking about “
Etc


Younger people and the trend is getting offended or being so darn sensitive to things nowadays.

And of course texting is one of the worst forms of communication. None of this stuff would happen face to face.
No one can see inflection this way and everyone is reliant on their literal writing skills rather than face to face speech.

Anyways. Back to USB cables.

I do love my Audioquest Cinnamon cause it’s pretty.

Cheers

But I'm American and it's clearly better than entry cables. People have different hearing levels in many ways. You are one of those people that can't hear a difference and that's fine. It does NOT prove that we all have confirmation bias at all.

Some people think cilantro tastes like soap, too.

I'll add one more thing- if Audioquest is what you were testing NO WONDER you heard no differences. Audioquest is very snake-oilish.

Anyway, nobody's opinion is going to upset me, it's just banter, so, cheers.

Younger people
Do realize this is how you sound to us.

It’s not an attack ,it’s a mere observation.
And so "your" observation is the only one that counts in this thread?

Well an attack would be more of a personal thing.
“ hey , you have bad taste in blah blah blah “
Or
“ you don’t know what you are talking about “
Etc

Movin on.

Who’s ‘ us’?

Now all of a sudden you’re trying to ‘ segregate’ me in using us and you, to try and prove that I’m in a minority?

Geez dude.

There are some here who agree with me and others that don’t.
It’s all good.

that’s how you sound to us as well. Lol
See how silly that sounds ?

Im from Norway im Norwegian, just live in Sweden, the reason that I like and use Supra is because they are affordable and well constructed.

I use Audioquest also, that I like, still Im no American.

To think that Patriotism has anything to say is silly.

Well, all debate aside this will always happen, and as many have said opinions are important and as long as they don't cross into insulting or demeaning then I guess it's all good.

I currently have a Mercury cable in the house and am checking it out (The older version that can be had for a bit over 100 US) I will do my best to compare it to my fav Supra this week and next.

Also hoping to get an Excalibur sooner than later!

Thanks for all the thoughts.

Cheers!!
