Today I got my Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC for my RS150 in the bedroom.
Now I’ve the same problem like with the RS250 and the external USB Dac: Most of my USB cables here are not working.
At the moment, a noname cable let see the DAC, but not my “better” cable.
Ordered now an Intona USB 3.0 cable, which hopefully will work, but is here anyone using a Holo Audio DAC (I’m owning also a May and here exists the same problem with the Rose device) together with a RS150 connected successful through USB and can give an advertisement for a good (cheap) USB cable?
Check for Wireworld Cables (Ultraviolet), not too expensive. Not many Brand have implemented such an USB B 3.0 Connector. These were used to power external HDD when introduced. And USB 2.0 is the Standard within Audio - why Holo used 3.0, I don’t know. Maybe it was easier to implement.
Hi,
I have the Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC with the RS250A.
Connected with a Supra Excalibur usb cable. It works perfectly and this cable is not too expensive.
Thanks, can then an option, if the itona cable doesn’t works.
I have literally tens of USB cables of different kinds. Some were cheap, some were “deluxe.” I don’t see any pattern whatsoever.
When I installed a new external drive on my computer, I figured I was best off using the cable that came with it. After months of chasing sporadic drive failures, I replaced that cable with a mid-priced one from a random company I’d never heard of. Problem solved.
I looked into getting a USB cable testing rig, but I could buy forty or fifty cables for the price of that equipment.
So unfortunately, I have to suggest trial and error. Remember that you’re dealing with a digital bitstream, so it’s not the same as audio cables. For the most part, a digital signal is either there or not there.
