Gordon, I was considering their $1000 USB cable but I guess will look elsewhere. May be USB is too new in high end audio for such giant leaps. Although cable companies have been out of control for many years. Now with the economy everyone has gone mad, speakers makers and sellers the most. these are the hardest times in audio history to figure out what's good or not. Everything is announced a champion by reviewers and people can make any claim they want.

on that same thought....Has anyone tried the Kimber Kable B Bus AG USB cable?

Chris,<br /> <br /> I'm confused....so will there be a High Resolution release 24/192 or 24/176 for the Beatles on digital? Also What happened to the Vinyl re-issues that were in the works? is that project dumped? when can we expect the Vinyl or Higher Rez Beatles?

Chris, <br /> <br /> Any word if the alpha USB will be available in silver finish in the future? I wonder if that would increase the price of production for them. I liked the silver they used on the alpha DAC.

Chris, <br /> <br /> Between a 2 meter Vs. 1m USB cable length, what do u recommend with these type of things? Does the audio quality drop as u go from 1m to 2m to 3m etc. between the computer and the DAC or USB converter devices? ive selected a cable brand but not sure what length to order. Please advise. Thanks.

Chris,<br /> <br /> Given the technical mambo jumbo, Do you know where this device(Alpha USB) or others like it should be placed? some other website said this needs to be kept as far away as possible??? is that true? Also you mention in another post that USB cable for playback should be not more than 3 meters.... Is it best to get 1 meter? or does the quality drop as you increase length? 2m less good than 1m...4meters and beyond not good at all? or is it about the same up to 3m and beyond that starts dropping? Cable length would also be a factor in placement of these things in relation to other components.Thanks!
