What's this??? What happened here was Ken in Japan this week? Is there a new paradigm in USB cables??
assume the new chord dac needs a grown up sized usb cable
difficult to recommend a cable though we have only tested a few and they were well over 100e
will a usb adapter not work?
was always curious about these

as they were similar to some of the diy ones ive made in the past

The cable is very cheap so it's hard for audiophiles to get their heads around . I noticed it on this review
http://www.theabsolutesound.com/article ... -20-cable/ in TAS and bought it to slot into Regen instead of using the PPA cable's micro usb + adapters. It's available from Amazon

Interesting Ken, especially as we'll be using the same DAC - was the second link meant to be an Amazon one?

I was going to order the short regen cable from PPang basically a cheaper version of Pearse's long usb cable but length wise similar to the spec you are suggesting Nigel.

Good spot nige. They look a well thought out design and handmade.
Better still a 30 day money back offer if you don't like them and in UK.
I want a short one too, but 0.5m is pretty good and practical length.
Will give one a go as I only have a stock Belden at present.
