Best/Most Popular USB Cables.

There's a whole debate on if you should use a USB to SPDIF converter for even better sound. Outside of that, I like the Shunyata Omega cables a good bit.

10000% STEALTH Audio cables.
Of all the cables I've ever reviewed and listened to (dozens), the STEALTH with their collars are in a league of their own.
They knocked out my previous top cable which was Siltech. In my review I compared them directly to Siltech.

USB cable with a ferrite core. So this would indicate some level of EMI/RFI is present in the system. So using a quality USB with a ferrite core, optimizing its position would be an improvement too?
Over the last 15 years of streaming, when I've needed a USB cable I've used a Chord usb-C until last year when I bought a Supra Excalibur.
I have a Inaukustik silver USB on order. Has anyone else tried it. It is the USB Aries Cerat used at Munich this year. I wii use it into my Kassandra Reference II.
I have had extensive listening in my sytem with AQ Diamond, Nordost V2, Shuyata Omega and FTA. I have heard several other brands. Of the ones I listed, the AQ is by far the leanest sounding and the FTA is by far the most full bodied. The Nordost was the closest to the sound wanted. Clean, clear and low noise. Don't get me wrong. It is not a perfect USB cable. The hunt continues.
I hvae not heard it directly but based on what I have heard with their other cables the Chord SarumT or ChordMusic would definitely be worth an audition.

I have spent a lot of time with the AQ Diamond, Clarus Crimson, Inakustik base model, Inakustik Silver Reference Air 2405, Kimber Select AG, Pink Faun, Shunyata Omega and a myriad of others.
My favorites are definitely the Clarus Crimson ($650 I think for 1M) sub $1000, Pink Faun ($1400 for 1M) over $1000 and I found the Inakustik Silver and Shunyata Omega to be incredible and very similar sounding at ~$3500. Those are my favorites. The others are good but these stand out as top performers to me.
