So my Ifi Zen Dac came in the mail today, but the USB cable that comes with it is too short (picture). Can anyone link me a good cable (can be an extension cable) that can be used with the Ifi Zen Dac? I am using it for my pc.
If and when you buy a new USB cable, length is a pretty big factor in this market. Some consumers want a very short and tidy USB, some others need super long to reach places.
I personally would look at the used market for a decent USB cable and see what you think.
Truthfully any usb 3.0 extension cable will be functional. You can find plenty of them on Amazon. As @Veritas mentions, USB cable length can be a concern, so only get the minimum length you need.

This is the one I bought and use
0,5 meters (20 inch) should be fine. Can anyone point out the exact name (type) of the cable that I need? Should I just replace the current cable or go for an extension cable?
Thank you for the quick replies, much appreciated.
USB 3.0 type A Male to USB 3.0 tybe B male would be what your looking for. I would say just get a longer cable instead of an extension or get a usb hub and use that instead just making sure the hubs cable connector reaches far enough
this one is fine right? https://www.allekabels.nl/usb-30-kabel/4548/1162796/usb-30-a-b-kabel.html (dutch website)
