5 volt line of usb kabel
#1
Not sure if this is common knowledge but our devs do not need the 5 volt line, not even for the handshake. My cable got a separat 5 volt line which can be disconnected. Tried that and was susprised that everythink works fine. Have not listen carefully yet whether this makes any difference in sound. Maybe people like to disconnect/remove the 5 volt line from their cables.

DCS Network bridge connected with AQ diamond to Router and with special Belden 1694a digital cable (cable is cryoed, mechanical damped and using very high quality solder to KLEI Harmony Bullet plug)
S/C is Shunyata biwire Delta, 2 Delta p/c on the bridge and bass amp, Synergestic dev p/c on the 200, all connected to Shunyata Denali power conditioner

Hello,

I am quite surprised because on my system, I also have a USB cable with a separated 5 V, and it does not work without 5 V (I have a KingRex USB cable and a KingRex U Power battery PSU).
  Best regards,
Sylvain
