    That will be a great comparison, keen to hear your views.

    In all three cases, the Lush was used to connect a Sound Gallery Monaco server to each of the DACs.

    I've used a number of USB cables in the past, and while there were differences among them, they weren't profound.

    The Lush cable, at least in my system, resulted in a profound difference in my system's sound quality; similar to a component change. I can wax un-poetically about the audiophile effects, but let me just summarize by saying that the Lush cable produces MUSIC and in a better way than what I've ever heard before in my room. YMMV.

    I have used the Audience AU24 SE USB, the Kimber Select Gold USB, and now the Kubala Sosna Realization USB.

    While all 3 are very good USB cables, for me the Realization takes sound quality and toe tapping enjoyment to an unprecedented level.

    Hi johndoe21ro,

    Sure.

    I've used the following USB cables in the past in no particular order:

    Wireworld Platinum Starlight, Curious, Audioquest Diamond, Audience Au 24 SE, Phasure Clarixa (from the same manufacturer as the Lush), and Light Harmonic Lightspeed among others.

    cmarin,

    Have you heard the Total DAC USB cable? Any idea how it compares to the Lush?
