A lot of moderns DACs can act as asynchronous USB audio devices for computers. They let you use the extraordinary flexibility of a computer to stream music from all manner of sources, while delivering a quality of sound no computer is capable of managing itself.
But the USB cable connecting the two must be up to the task. And not all of them are, especially that one that you just found rustling around in your box of old computer cables. You’ve likely spent hundreds – or even thousands – of dollars on your streamer and DAC. It’s worth spending a few more to make sure it’s getting the highest quality audio signal.
At Addicted To Audio we carry USB cables from some of the finest specialist cable brands in the world, such as Cardas Audio, QED, Tchernov Cables and AudioQuest, along with quite a few fine ones from equipment makers, often optimised to work with their own devices. You may not be familiar with some of those brands, but they’ve got a quality experience in store for your ears.
There are two great ways to buy USB cables. The best way for most people is at a quality retail outlet in your city. That way you can try some out, see whether they feel like a good “fit” for you and your system. And, of course, receive expert advice. But if you’re confident that you already know what you want, consider purchasing your USB cables direct from us at Addicted To Audio. We are an authorised Australian reseller for all our products. We provide full service and after sales support. And we ship fast.
