I have a Macbook Pro M1 and I'd like to connect my USB-C desktop DAC to it. My question is that there are a zillion types of USB-C cables and I'm totally confused about them.
Basically, all I'd need is a very simple USB 2.0 data cable with Type-C plugs on both ends. What I can see in the shops on the other hand are all kinds of combinations of:
- 60W / 100W
- USB 2.0 / 3.0 / 3.1
- active / passive
- with / without E-Mark chip
For me, the best would be a plain and simple USB 2.0 data cable. My basic instinct is telling me that it's better without any active chip / E-Mark chip in the cable, as it's totally not needed but can possibly introduce some problems. But I don't know this area. Can you help me?
