All, Anyone using Audioquest Carbon/Coffee/Diamond? I currently own Carbon(with a jitterbug)and thinking about upgrading to Diamond. Also, if anyone is using an audioquest diamond…do you also use a jitterbug or not? Thoughts? -Ryan

…sorry, i forgot to mention im talking about USB cables…

Yah. I’ve got a diamond and like it a lot. No jitterbug. Good deals can be had on them.

I’ve read elsewhere in the forum the Wireworld Platinum USB is the one that beats them all as far as sound quality is concern. Also I find the Ifi Purifier 3 in line filter way better than the jitterbug.

Interesting, I was at work and got impatient and purchased the diamond. I should get it on saturday from amazon…I guess if I don’t like it I can always return it. I hear really good things about both those cables.

Have you tried the diamond with the jitterbug?..or tried it and didn’t like the sound. I have the jitterbug with the carbon and think it sounds great. I assumed it would sound amazing with the diamond.

Hmm, I was just reading about the ‘Matrix SPDIF 2’. That looks really compelling, it can convert my DOP files to DSD on the fly and then stream the DSD file to my DSD Sr through I2S. I think I’ll have fun with the cable for right now and can always get the ‘Matrix SPDIF 2’ after…I’ll want a good ca…

You’re right. You could use a good USB cable for that and also a good HDMI cable too. The cables can make considerable difference.

I use the diamond, jitterbug has a negative effect to my ears

You know what would make more difference than these USB cables is if you use USB to Matrix SPDIF 2 and I2s (HDMI) to your DSD Sr. You will hear more improvement with that unit than any of these cables.Matrix X-SPDIF 2
