I just snagged an N5909 lightly used for $375, but it's missing a USB C audio cable. Any ideas on where I can pick up a replacement? Thanks.

The usb C to usb A? I can check if any of my other cables work for it

It's a proprietary cable. That's the challenge. Thank you for any help.

It should be available at Mark Levinson, or not? Are you ready to make (solder) your own?

Not ready to do that at all.

I bought the 5909 a couple of weeks ago on sale for 550 and I am very satisfied so far. But I wanted to try how it sounds via USB, but I could not get it to work. I plugged it directly into my iPhone via USB-C to Lightning Cable, but the phone did not recognize the 5909 as an audio device. On my pc I plugged them into an USB Port, but all I could hear was loud static, so I immediately unplugged them afraid it would damage the headphones. So long story short, how can I use them wired? I wanted to see how big the difference to the lossy bluetooth is. Thanks in advance!

In PC did you check the sound output option. You may have to select it instead of the default option. Works fine using the USB c cable for me on my PC.

Try the 3.5mm wire. I don't use the USB C to USB C outside of charging the headphones

What USB cable were you using? The ML5909 cable is (semi) proprietary…

Ah did not know that, I was using an off-brand USB Cable, thanks!

@HennesVI
Just tried them using some random Baseus USB-A-to-C cable on Dell XPS laptop (Linux) - works with no issues.
Not an iPhone user, but is there a chance your iPhone rejects connection because 5909s are trying to charge when plugged in?
