DSD128 upsampling is turning off my DAC (Teac AI-503)

@Gigatoaster - I assume SGD stands for Singapore Dollars here? 2SGD converts over to $1.45USD.
I would personally try to get at the very minimum a decent cable somewhere in the range of $5 - 20USD (10-30SGD) but depending on your applications and how you want to use it I have seen people advocate for getting more expensive ones.

I have been using and Amazon Basics USB 2.0 Cables just fine, but then again I don’t play too many DSD files so higher bandwith is not really needed for my setup. You may want to post your question on our Roon Audio Products section of Community to hear about the differing opinions on this matter.

I have also found a few threads where people discuss various USB cables if you want to give it a read:


Thanks,
