USB cable for Oladra to DCS Vivaldi

OLADRA

Hi,

My first post (I think). New owner of an Oladra. Need recommendation for a longish USB cable probably at least 2.0m or 2.5m from the Oladra to the upsampler of a DCS Vivialdi upsampler. Help ?

Regards,
Joe Ling

Hi Joe, welcome.
That’s quite a stack you have there.
Im sure there will be people popping in with their recommendations.
At Antipodes Audio, we use Jorma and Ikigai USB for our top-end systems.

You might look at the Network Acoustics Muon2 range - very favorably reviewed and very well built. Sounds amazing to my ears I have one between my K50 and MScaler. The folks at Network Acoustics are amazingly friendly, ship worldwide for free and with a 60 day in home trial - should be on everyone’s shortlist - Network Acoustics Muon2 USB Cable Tells All | The Ear

I’m enjoying my Curious Cable.
Well reviewed across the board which is what swayed me.

Hi Joe,
I am also an Oladra owner. I am curious why would you want to connect your Oladra to an upsampler?

Most DACs perform upsampling internally. Only exception is those that are NOS DACs. Upsampling requires a CPU that can calculate new samples. There can be advantages to having this in a separate box, especially when the DAC is specifically designed to take advantage of this.
