INNUOS vs USB-cables

[Ranger176]

To answer what cable would I use with an absolute top flight server/streamer & DAC? As I have only had experience of the manufactuers I listed I would have to say I would stick with Artisan Silver Cables who offer a 'better' version of the USB I have. Using the direct sales model seems to enable them to sell at half to a third of the price of the well known brands. This applies across all the cable ranges they do.
There are a number of online reviews of their different products and all seem positive. Another positive is that they rarely appear on the used market.
When funds allow I will be taking the plunge with their interconnected and speaker cables. As already noted with a 30 day money back guarantee there's little risk.
Just to clarify I have absolutely nothing to do with said company.

Cheers Digger

Just looked at Artisan Silver Cables in the IOW. 30 day money back guarantee. What's not to like?

I have one in the spares box.

Using this NeoTech silver.

I would be interested to know if some folk are using USB to S/PDIF DDC (digital to digital) conversion boxes to connect to a DAC that does not have a USB B input and what they recommend. Hoping this is not too much a thread digression for you @Peder otherwise I could open a new thread on that topic.

A bit late but I'm new here.

Yes, I use the DSPeaker ANTI-MODE X2D to eliminate room induced bass boom, correcting under 500Hz. It also servers as a DDC since I use optical to connect to my integrated amp. It works beautifully; I could never live without it. I'm surprised the DSPeaker isn't more popular.

It looks interesting. I had not heard of it before, but I will look into it as a DDC. The DSP function is interesting too.

I went from an Ansuz X2 to an Audience FrontRow USB and then back to my Ansuz X2. I found the Audience muddy in the mids. The Anzus brings life, PRAT, imaging and detail at a level the Audience couldn't deliver. For what it's worth I have the Innuos Pulsar feeding an Accuphase DC-37 Processor/DAC.

I also got a custom Furutech power cord made for the Pulsar and it became more authorative and present, absolutely beautiful.
