One doubt Puma Cat. When you say minimal 1,5m... was it a mistake, not maximum? Besides the WWPS with 2 m, I have an USB KS2436 Select silver feeding the Wadia DAC/CD, with 1m ��. Perhaps not the best length so...

Hi Rui,
No, it was not a mistake. The minimum length for a digital cable should be 1.5M. This is mitigate the impact of reflections in the cable; this is particularly problematic for digital cables as they operate at higher bandwidth than analog cables, and there is bandwidth-dependent component to the impact and degree that reflections have on the signal.
Also, Shunyata makes amazing USB cables; the Alpha USB cable was a revelation for me, and a component-level upgrade. You can find my review of it here at AA from 2019. The Shunyata Sigma USB is another level above that because of the increased clarity, transparency and focus that the Shunyata TAP device provides, and the top-level Omega USB will absolutely knock your socks off.
