Doug - That is an incredibly kind offer - thank you so much.
Unfortunately I am in the UK and although I could move some boxes around to accomaodate 0.5M, ideally I would need 1.5M - 2.0M.

But WoW what a really lovely gesture.

You guys really know how to make someone feel welcome.

Many many thanks
Sam

Sam,

You are very welcome. Cables are a tough thing to play around with. There are so many out there to choose from, I just thought this would be an easy way to try something else out. There may not have been such a leap between the UV and the Starlight for you, but even in my modest system going from the Starlight to the Platinum Starlight has been a real treat. It's one of those rare instances in the audio world where I no longer feel the need to upgrade this piece.

The discussions have centered on the audio benefits of the better WW HDMI cables. Are there also video benefits with the higher grade cables?

Thanks,

This might be a "mute" question for the time being but what about USB3 ?

Also when it comes to USB cable length apparently distance matters, so what is deemed to be "safe" ? Up to 3m from player to DAC?

A WW Starlight USB cable is in my sights...

Thanks.

The safe distance is less than 5m. It mightn't sound as good at longer lengths, which is more the issue. There are optical converters (I have one) so you can go waaaaay longer if needed.

A lawyer would say moot, but mute sounds very pertinent for USB3

I haven't seen any DACs using USB3, and think it may be an issue with Async code, although in theory USB 3 is asynchronous. But the extra bandwidth brings no benefit to audio. But I could be (and often am) wrong!

Absolutely, WW Platinum HDMI aka Reference cables produce stunning images. I'll wait for others to chime in, as I don't want to sound self serving.

I have not compared

Cnet says they tested different quality hdmi cables with the best tv's and oppo and they could SEE ZERO difference.
