USB Lead Help Please.
Hi Guys,
Having just been bowled over by the benefits of Mike Homar's new cable it raised a question in my mind. The music stream was CDP to StanDAC to amp to speakers. This stream is not my main way of listening to music as the CDP is normally replaced by the PC as the source. Given that replacing the interconnect between CDP and StanDAC produced such a major improvement, this raises the question that, all other bits of the music stream being the same, would it be possible to get a similar level of improvement by replacing the interconnect between PC and StanDAC? This interconnect is a USB A to B lead. So, ...... is it possible to obtain high quality USB leads more suited to audiophile applications than bog standard PC data transmission and, if so, from where?
Any ideas or comments on the flawed logic out there?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
DaveK.
