Audioquest Jitterbug

or my USB cable's too low-end

What USB cable are you using?

Guillaume

The bottom-end Audioquest - the green one.

I've got a Vertere d-fi for my Hugo but it's mini USB so can't compare. Previously I had a Supra USB but sold it after listening and finding no difference to a stock cable.  Have never tried anything higher-end except at the Chord stand at the head-fi show where I was unconvinced (much to the reps disappointment) in changes between cables. But in fairness I did say to them I don't listen to headphones much, wasn't familiar with the music and there was tonnes of background noise from the room. So I'm neither a sceptic or believer, just have never experienced high-end cables directly to see what's what. I can't really justify the cost of a Mac mini on a cable either - for me those funds would be better spent on a new source (if on hifi at all).

If I'm not feeling the love by the end of the week, maybe another local member wants to try them in their system...

Ah ok, that would be Audioquest Forest which should be perfectly adequate. I've got an AQ Carbon that you are welcome to borrow if you want.
