I and a friend, have amassed a few cheap usb cables to check out the differences and see if we could find some really good stuff. The result are quite interesting because we did isolate a couple of very good products, and add some insight. Our test system has been composed of AMR DP-777 ->… » Read the full article
The JCAT usb cable is the fifth high end cable I have been listening to (if we don’t factor in the Wireworld Starlight and Ultraviolet, which I consider far less than high end, albeit far from cheap). The JCAT USB cable has been conceived by JPLAY, already known for their playback software for Windows PC’s…. » Read the full article

I am reviewing these interconnects, made by Polish brand Forza Audioworks, after having been very satisfied with their twin USB cable. I wanted something that would let me use my Headamp AE-2 portable amplifier with more flexibility than what’s offered by my other cables.
