Did you try a Lush^3 or for that matter a Lush^2, instead of the stock short cable? In the USB chain I see that short cable as the possible weak link. What is your stand on this?
Hi Michael,
With each USB cable we have, we tried the exact same internally in the DAC (there too is a show piece of (real) USB cable). It exactly never worked out (sounds bad) ...
Why ? a mystery.
Maybe in two cases I heard of the short USB cable implying a problem. But this is merely a combination with the Phisolator than with the USB cable sec.
Of course you are free to try to replace the short piece with an other cable (try your upcoming Lush^3 for fun) - it won't be to long or anything.
If you have results at some stage, please don't hesitate to share it.
Kind regards,
Peter
