Hi Juan,
I dont have the YFS cable with me anymore.
After trying a few USB cables, I'm forming my concept of the USB sound. I'll post that in detail in the comming weeks.
The audiocadabra cable is similar to Peter's cable in terms of performance. The sound is spectrally balanced. Its not a "wow" cable. There is a great head nodding factor, which I suspect related to cable specifics. However I need to have more listening time to form my opinion. The YFS cable from my memory, is a wow cable, then it might take you eitherway.
I suggest everyone to try both cables.
Regards, VJ

Guys, My experience is that, a lot of things can go wrong when changing cables ... i.e. USB. The same cable can sound all over the place, related to DC, grounding, dielectric relaxation, or other unknowns, some of which might not be related to the cable itself. When I had 2 models of the YFS, I kept going back and forth between 3-4 cables, and in the end things just did not right, with any cable. VJ

Hi, I've compared 2 YFS cables, one Cu with Ag coating (V4, the model that you have), and the other pure Cu(custom). this is in comparison to the Phasure cable. Bass is excellent. I've listened to a 3m drum, which sounds like a 3m drum (sound pressurizing the room is disorienting). F4 takeoff, sound pretty authentic (hold on to your pants .. etc). Subharmonics go well below 30 Hz. There is slightly better bass resolution with the YFS cable (actually overall resolution, and better SNR). There is a slight noise with the Phasure cable, one will notice better after hearing the data only cable. The edginess with the V4 is "reduced" with custom cable. Laser sharp imaging is seen with both. There there are a few differences b/w the 2 models I tried, with sound staging and spectral balance when compared to Phasure cable.
Coen, I would play it for a few hours/overnight to maybe burn them in again. Maybe that might help.
**edit** The tour cable is Ref Data cable
