Hi Oscar,

Have not visited here for more than a month until yesterday, sorry for the late reply! The XLR IC that I mentioned before, is a outstanding IC! See the cable image above. For about $500 usd one meter, it is much better than Nordost Heimdall 2, red dawn 2 that I have auditioned in my system! But have not taken it to dealer to compare to other higher priced ICs yet.

As to the silver Xangsane usb cable, it had many hours on it, fully broken in, takes many hours to break in, I guess need more than three hundred hours at least! It sounds much better than Odin silver 2. Last night I swapped silver Xangsane out to try Odin2, it has that overly emphasized details poured out into my face in a two dimensional manner, after few minutes I can't stand it have to pull it out and put Xangsane back, also Xangsane has better bass.

One thing I would like to mention is that pure silver in Chinese, google or other software will translate it to "sterling silver", and if I type STERLING SILVER, google translate it to PURE SILVER in Chinese. I found that same Xangsane silver usb at chinese Taobao site, that purity is 99.99%, it is considered pure silver, right? Since Aliexpress website does translation automatically, that was the part of the reason we see the word STERLING SILVER so often for describing pure silver.

The XLR IC URL that I provided previously seems don't work anymore, please try the link below. You probably need to use google Chrome translator to view it.
