USB cables

You could do a heck of a lot worse.

Not read the whole thread but that point people bang on about 'its digital, therefore flawless' is not true. Usb cables carry an analogue approximation of the digital signal, so what you get is a situation where the signal needs protection.

'But my printer works ok!' They jest, but not really joking. Yes but printers have time to correct/buffer the information, the audio application doesn't have that luxury. Error correction also adds jitter, aka noise.

I use 3x curious cables in my rig, with an uptone regen, very clean and organic sound. Reasonably priced too (this replaced a compete ifi setup with upgraded longdog linear psu).
