That is Wild! I lost track of the Audioquest USB cable hierarchy. I thought the Diamond was the top of the line Audioquest at least for a while.
Anyway, the price for these USB cables is getting out of hand even by high end standard. For that kind money I would get a proper network player with AES or even SPDIF output.
I still remember when in the beginning there was Gordon Rankin of Wavelength and Ayre QB9 designer advocating async USB as the panacea of the sin of digital audio. Then come the popularity of USB audio and every manufacturer is out to rescue is from the terrible noise of digital audio.
Makes you wonder sometimes.
