This came in today.. (First impression) was insanely good even without burn-in. Let's wait for 500hrs n see how it performs

USB Odin Gold, have not seen one of these yet.

Hi guys!

This is my cable from ugreen:

https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005..._list.0.0.21efcaa4jEVf9P&gatewayAdapt=glo2bra

And those on my list:

1- https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005...37460.0.0.1be52e0edb9gSr&gatewayAdapt=glo2bra

2- https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005...37460.0.0.1be52e0edb9gSr&gatewayAdapt=glo2bra

3- https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005...37460.0.0.1be52e0edb9gSr&gatewayAdapt=glo2bra

4- https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005...37460.0.0.1be52e0edb9gSr&gatewayAdapt=glo2bra

I don't know the difference between the 2 and 3......but both is probably my choice....

I know my system is simple (before the class d amp, I had one HK 235 to drive a 5.1 system (floorstanding speakers) and today just a stereo setup with the same L and R speakers -- and they sound much better now)

Does this scale well with the lower end iems? iems I have are under $120.

Absolutley! Every IEM in my collection from the Vortex to my custom Valkyries sound like super energized! I cannot recommend enough....The only thing is the one with palladium does push the mids forward...its perefect for my customs but some of the other iems...the mids can be a bit forward with that cable. However the gilded silver (gold plated) is lush and magnificant! Both cables have huge soundstage...I ordered the pure silver 8 wire yesterday!

I actually like forward mids. Thanks that helps alot.

Been wanting to try one of those palladium cables for a while. I see that the cable is listed as a palladium, silver, copper alloy which is exactly what I wanted. I'll keep on my wishlist, will wait for a sale.

If you want I can send you mine to play with for a week, then just send it back....up to you...

Appreciate it thanks, but unfortunately I only have iems that use the qdc connectors.

I trust your judgement, I will keep an eye on it on the next big sale, should be one coming up soon.

In my mind they are 'as good' as the power cords, if you know what I mean...sorry, i'm just really enthusiastic about these cables...the power cables too, everything sounds great, tho literally everything is burning in! Even the IEMs...my new usb cable shipped, and i havent heard back from Element yet about repairing my usb card....in the meantime using the RME stock usb cable in regular usb port...

I would recommend something else that is made of sterling silver, maybe something like this.

The knockoff odin cable is really nice because each conductor is individually shielded with a teflon sleeve. I think thats the main reason why it sounds so good, it helps to isolate the conductor that carries power so it minimizes contamination of the audio signal.

Or you could message one of the sellers that sell the odin usb cable and ask if they can make one with the usb c connector. Try asking a few of them and see what they say.

Wait till that fuse comes in. If you're using the stock fuse on the ares, you're in for a real treat.

The fuse is with my local carrier. I already ordered another Odin2 USB cable, I was very happy with it... Plus my low noise usb card only takes regular usb, not C

Wow they have Odin Gold USB cables? I could have sworn I only saw Odin 2 silver for USB cables. And how long is that? Looks like a beast. AFAIK however shorter runs are generally better for digital cables such as USB and RCA coax.

Odin Gold power cable came in today, and I'm "burning it in" right now. (translation, listening to music) Bright, colorful cable, almost a bit too busy for my set up; it draws the eye! Also, the plug connection feels a bit lose on the Bigger Ben, but I'm getting a good connection and power is flowing.

Musically I'll just have a wait a long, long, time until I feel like it's fully burned in (at my listening rate this will be about 3 months to get 500 hours) and then i'll swap in the previous cable to see what difference I hear. Sounds great at the moment, though .

When you say the plug feels a bit loose are you referring to IEC to component IEC input? If yes you can use plumbers Teflon tape and wrap around the male portion of the IEC connector. Use the amount you need to get a snug fit. This will also help dampen micro vibration a bit.
