Thanks, Peter!

As alot of people use this forum to get information on how to optimize their purchases, I feel the need to make this correction as it reflects how I intend to set up my front end:

Melco N1ZH (1st generation)>Uptone Audio's USPCB A>B Adapter>Iso regen>Lush^2 usb cable>Chord Qutest Dac

Hi, I am interested in purchasing a Lush^2 usb cable for my digital front end which will consist of the following components:

Melco N1ZH (1st generation)>Lush^2 usb cable>Iso regen>Uptone Audio's USPCB A>B Adapter>Chord Qutest Dac

My questions are:

1.  How long should the usb cable be to maximize performance?  (In terms of being able to physically connect the Melco to the Iso regen, I will need .5mm.)

2.  How should I configure the Lush^2's connectors to get the best sound out of the cable given my components?

Thanks.
