A few years ago it was difficult to find an alternative to cheap staffing cord that came with the manufacturers or DAC Headphone Amplifier (sometimes quite expensive) with USB-in. Meanwhile, the first audition convinced us that the sad phenomenon concerning the dependence of the sound of digital audio interfaces from the connector remains relevant, despite the fact that the information is transmitted via USB quite differently. We shared our experiences with Graham Nolte Vlack of Rhodium and after a few years the company has released a USB-cables own design.
Simple solutions…
In addition to better conductor materials, screen and connector, the company used two simple technology.

But most importantly, you do not hear, and feel – lost some internal tension, listen to music easier and more joyful.
When the game is worth the candle
Depends on how much your DAC or headphone amplifier. If it is equipped with modern USB-receiver, but despite this, via USB, unlike SPDIF, plays “as something not very” best buy Vlack Rhodium, than to change the unit itself.
