Recommendation For A Good USB-A/A Cable

[Dizzie]

I have looked at some big name brand USB cables but they are all USB-A/USB-B. My Boulder 866 only has USB-A inputs.

Major bummer is my other system has a DAC with USB-B input. Same for my other integrated with an internal DAC. So whatever cable I buy can't be used for all of my equipment. Therefore I would like to keep the cost/cable reasonable.

Note, reasonable is a relative term which I cannot define at the moment.:dunno:

Nordost Valhalla USB can be made A to A. Not sure about Shunyata, but I’ll ask.

But the 866 USB inputs are not for audio.

Best to use AES on the 866 like I’m doing at home right now.

Thanks Mike,

I do have very good AES/EBU and S/PDIF (RCA) digital cables. I was just wondering if USB was better. Some think USB is superior. After my post I emailed Steve Huntley to ask what the preferred input was for the 866. I should have thought of that sooner.

No worries. Happy to help.
