True. Much more common with consumer electronics as well now, than with domestic HiFi. I certainly prefer it to micro USB which is absolutely wretched. I see a few “hard” adapters similar to the one that came with my Regen and some short power bank length cables. I may just pick up a few different short cables to try and pick the best one. Not a huge fan of the solid adapters, especially since the C port in my interface is at a slight angle. I could always prop it up, but I’m weary of stressing the port.

Hi Alex! Thanks for the reply and the welcome! I’m actually using a Solid State Logic SSL2 recording interface as a DAC/pre in a small secondary bedroom setup with some active Tannoy monitors. C inputs are becoming more and more common on pro gear it seems, especially recording interfaces, but yes, I can only think of one(Soncoz) DAC manufacturer using C inputs on consumer gear. Nothing fancy, but Regen has made a massive improvement over going straight from the laptop to the DAC, it’s just that now I’d like to find something along the lines of the included gray shorty that came with the Regen so I can get it closer to the DAC side which seems to be the preferred method of connection if I’m not mistaken. As I have it setup now I have the short gray cable out of the MB and a 1 meter generic Rampow A to C cable connecting the Regen to the interface.

Any recommendations on a very short USB C to A cable for connecting the Regen to a bus powered USB interface? About to try some experiments with various mid priced A to B cables from my MacBook, but aside from some very cheap A to C ones I’ve seen and very expensive custom ones, I’m not seeing a whole lot of options in this area.
