IMHO Vertere may be the most under-rated and ignored hi-end hifi brand in Hong Kong.
10 days ago, Vertere has just got a new distributor (Chris) who asked me to take Veretere's top HB Series USB cable for a home trial. He claimed that it KO his Crystal Dreamline Plus usb cable easily.
At that time, I gave him just a lukewarm response. I have been using a Totaldac usb cable and a Light Harmonic LightSpeed 2G usb cable happily. The former is in my opinion a best-buy, surpassing many brands/models that are much more expensive. Its musicality/analogue-ness is a heavenly-match with CAS.
But when I inserted the Vertere HB in my audio system, my jaw dropped to floor. It betters both of my usb cables in all aspects at once!
After burning it in for about 100 hours, I listened to it again carefully and confirmed that it is the best usb cable that I have ever listened to. It's very all-rounded without any obvious pitfall. It has supreme musicality yet the freq extensions and resolution are not compromised. The soundstage is wide and deep and there are so many layers within.
I now tend to believe Chris that the Vertere HB may be the best usb cable in the market!
However, for the <USD1.2k level usb cables, I think Totaldac is still the king.
