Ridge Street, Locus Design Axis & Synergistic USB

Has anyone directly compared any two or more of the following USB cables for feeding digital audio to a USB DAC: Ridge Street Audio, Locus Design Axis or Synergistic Research? I have read great things about all of them, but little in the way of direct comparisons among them. I would appreciate your help.

Yep. I want to try the Locus Designs also. I'm currently using the SR cable, which is a hige improvement over the Kimber cable I initially had. And, it should be for the price! I'm curious about how it compares to the LD cables.

I have both the Synerergistic and Ridge Street USB cables now. I have not provided the full recommended break-in for the Ridge Street yet. I will present an opinion once this is done. I have a feeling the choice of best USB cable is like other cables; system dependent.

Splashkin, looking forward to your report. Another variable in the USB cable testing might be to test the CryoParts $70 USB cable... very surprising... no doubt about it!

:) listening,
