I need a USB cable to link my Pi to my Pro-Ject DAC so need USB A male to USB B Male (printer style cable).

Not worried about length as they sit side by side.

Ideally around the £30 mark.

Thanks.

Tested this against the Supra/Chord (more expensive) equivalent and this came out on top for me. Just in my system but it was MUCH better. Brand new too.

Nothing wrong with the Supra at all. Certainly lovely construction. The QED sounded a bit more natural to me. I know it shouldn't make a difference but it did.

I was A/Bing for an hour or so and I didn't change my conclusion from a couple of minutes in. The Chord (C-Line) I was also testing was a disappointment and the most expensive of the three I believe.

If it's of any interest, I have a 0.7m Supra 2 USB cable that I purchased and used for around 6 months that is in excellent condition and currently stored in my hifi cupboard.

Yours for £10 plus postage.
