Anyway I would be happy to try my best diy silver cable against the one Peter recommends when my asynchronous NOS1 comes back. I buy into what Peter is saying though and I don't think I am going to hear any difference. Will let you know, it might save a little money  Happy


Hi Nick,

did you test this already?

thanks,

Hi Bigear,

Yes I have the home made lead between PC and NOS USB at the moment. To my mind there is an improvement in sound, though not as large as experienced with other USB interfaces i'v used.

In the scheme of things it's a minor tweak i would say, the NOS USB sound with a standard cable is already amazing.

Best Nick.
