Thanks everyone on the feedback on the Curious USB Cable. The cable is going back to be evaluated as I tried 4 other cables and they worked. Just the Curious one did not so I am guessing something is probably not right with it (the equipment folks have suggested that it is most likely not meeting USB 2.0 standard in operation on this cable-may be the 5V external line is faulty?).

I am wondering if anyone here has successfully used the Curious USB cable to connect their Aurender to their DAC? I recently acquired a Curious USB cable and connected it between my Aurender X100L and my PS Audio Directstream DAC. It would play one or two songs before the signal transfer stops and I hear nothing. I have to reboot both the Aurender and the DAC to get it to work again but it again only plays 1-2 songs. I do not have this problem with the Cardas Clear USB cable, just the Curious USB. I am trying to figure out if my cable is defective or there is an interface issue between the Aurender and DAC with this cable.
