Eloise, What you're saying makes a lot of sense, thanks a lot for your input! I'm currently located in Estonia, so the choice here is very poor and zero chances to get any home demo So considering the shipment costs and delays will probably start from moderate quality and upgrade after if needed. Thanks again!

Thanks a lot, Richard! Unfortunately 400 GBP for interconnects are far beyond my budget now, so I guess will look into price range of ~100 GBP. Any recommendations there? How about Audioquest Diamondback?

Dear all, I'm planning to buy HRT Music Streamer II+ soon and would like to get your advice on choosing the right cables for it. After reading a couple of good articles and discussions about the USB cable quality, seems that I still don’t understand the importance of quality of the USB cable in comparison to the RCA side. Actually it’s quite practical – I have a distance of about 2 meters between the computer and the amplifier. So it’s either putting the HRT device next to computer and then buying USB cable of 0.5 meter and RCA cables of 2 meters, OR putting the HRT next to the amplifier, and then taking 2 meters long USB cable and a short RCAs (No other options, can’t put HRT in the middle). Assuming I’m looking at a US price range of about $200 for the cables in total, such as Kimber Ag Silver or Cardas for the USB side, – which one of the options would you recommend for better price/quality? Please also recommend good RCA cables for such configuration and price range. Thanks a lot in advance! Vadim
