What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems?


I am looking for a highly rated USB cable that stands head and shoulders above the rest. Is there such a cable?

Hi Steve, I am using the tX-USBultra with the sMS-200ultra endpoint and the sPS-500 power supply that powers them both.  So far I am switching between the two USB cables I have here, either the Curious or the Totaldac USB cable.  Both sound good.

I also have here Metrum's Ambre endpoint, which allows me to use an I2S connection with my Metrum Pavane L3 DAC.  

I haven't yet decided which endpoint I like best as each sounds a little different but the SOtM stuff sounds very good.
Hi

I was just curious as to the process by which the cable physically rearranges the bit-stream to make the music sound different. I had assumed that USB cables are pretty dumb wires that just carry a signal.

I have been data network designer for some years and even I didn’t realise that some USB cables could ‘read and rearrange’ the data that they are carrying and make the sound, for instance, ‘warmer’. I guess that is why they are so ridiculously expensive.
I've tried a few from TotalDac1, Curious, Lightspeed,etc, but my favorite so far  is the Phasure Lush2 USB. My 2 cents.
I bought a new computer recently.  Hp all in one. I-7 processor. Multiple usb ports. I run a Nordost Heimdal usb, a to b -3 meter cable ($650), from  my computer's usb output to my marantz sa10
sacd player/dac's usb input, and then through my audio system with great results. I run JR River software on my PC and download hi rez files from HD Tracks. I just got the marantz sa10s1 as well. This setup gives me great sounding audio and great flexibility in terms of organizing new music files and the ability to RIP hi rex cd's. 
Sorry fyud, you just wasted $650  on the cable that you could have used on components that will make a difference to the fidelity of your sound
