Topic: ADI-2 DAC USB-C cable

I've been struggling to find a proper USB-C cable that works with the ADI-2 DAC connected to my MacBook M1 Pro. I know in principle any cable should work, but in reality I've been experiencing song skips and apparently this could be an issue with the MacBook. However, reading some threads on the web, some say changing cables helped them with this issue.

Does anyone have a reliable USB B 2.0 to USB C cable they recommend so that I can give it a try?

If you can find it where you live, buy it.

Thanks for the tip, but this cannot be purchased in Europe as far as I can see.

You can find it by searching on Amazon Japan.
I don't know if they ship to Europe.

Re: ADI-2 DAC USB-C cable

I have some USB-C cables with a sticker:

If there is the problem when connected with your mouse, keyboard, etc. (USB 2.0 devices can only support one side), please reverse the USB C connector of the cable.

Sounds crazy, but worth a try ...

Re: ADI-2 DAC USB-C cable

I’ve got a basic Ugreen one that works fine with M1. It is advertised as suitable for audio devices, which is also mentioned in the reviews.
