I've got mine back after the latest 2017 elite upgrade since a few weeks (use it between a modified dual pc setup and a Lampi GG). Amazing how low the noisefloor is with this cable and quite the upgrade from the previous version. In the past I used the PPA Studio top model, which was a big improvement above the AudioQuest Diamond which I had on loan.

IMO the Wireworld Platinum USB delivers the goods.

I have Siltech Classic USB Cable.
I need to upgrade it, so very interesting thread to me.

that's the new kid on the block at the moment over at CA.
I have the LUSH for sometime (I think I was the first batch to order). Its nice and I like it but there are number of in-between system changes that went through ever since I got it - I have the new JCAT USB Card Femto (powered by LPS-1) burning in at the moment with a custom LPS for the card coming next week. No more I use any streamer (like uR, etc) and go direct from my PC. After all these settle down, I should be able to compare with Audience AU24 SE, Wywires Platinum and Curious cables.

I've had the Lush USB cable in my system for about two weeks. It's been used during that time with three DACs successfully: Pacific Microsonics Model 2 through a Playback Designs USB-XIII USB-AES Converter; Aries Cerat Kassandra II Reference; and a TotalDac d1-12.
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.

Can you tell what USB cables have you tried so far?

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.

Ha! You're right...please excuse me - I'd initially read it as an open question... [emoji846]

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.

If we are talking about "Top USB Cables" my new Göbel Lacorde Statement USB cable is the King !!!!!

Not to sure there is a clear winner. I do see the Wireworld Platinum Starlight 7 frequently mentioned.

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