Received my Omega X usb yesterday after taking a risk ordering this cable "blind" (my first cable from Shunyata in general too). Right out of the gate, stunning performance and my new reference. It's rare in my experience that a product is so good at everything. More holographic and dense while also more punchy deep articulate bass and effortless seperation. Beyond everything else though (and something I didn't quite expect) is that the musicality and flow this cable added is off the charts. I was kind of expecting some extreme resolution/black background (which it has) but its one of those rare components that just gets more music out of your system than any other usb I have tried. I'm using it in between my Innuos Statement next gen and Lampizator Poseidon dac. Will update again after approximately 100h of run-time.
 
I wholeheartedly agree with your first impressions. I am a long time user of Shunyata Omega, but primarily power cables and ethernet. The Omega X USB is my first exposure to the Omega X series and I am equally enamored, as you, with the quietude, ease and musicality the Omega X delivers.

Did you notice any change with break-in?
