Will a quality USB cable make a difference....

For what it's worth, I was unable to hear any difference between the the stock USB and one made one of the "name" cable companies that cost $130 retail and I can certainly hear and appreciate the difference between brands and types of Interconnects and speaker wires.

And....We're off! ; )

This, like any other "does cable make a difference" related question, will likely generate strong and polar opposite replies.

In MY experience, In MY Opinion... Digital cables including USB make little to no difference. In fact I've done a/b switching with Optical versus check coax versus, etc. and found little to no difference between them.

Don't waste your money on "high quality" USB cables...use that money on a better DAC...that's where you can definitely can hear a difference!

Now detractors (from my belief) will say that I don't have the system or savy to hear the difference...Not true.

It is obvious that the first 2 responders don't have the system or savvy to hear the difference.

Just kidding, like was pointed out above, you will never get the answer you seek by asking that question. When you ask these cables questions, if you get enough responses, some will respond that they hear huge differences and some will say they hear none. That means the only way to tell is to try it yourself which basically means all threads of this type are worthless except as a means to waste a little more time on these forums.
