Here is the truth of the matter. Wires act like antennae. Length, construction, metallurgy all vary their efficiency as a TX or RX. The change in sound heard when changing the wire has nothing to do with resistance or ability to move a coil in a magnetic field. It's all to do with the DAC.
If you have a separate DAC, all that matters for maximum transparency is to keep away RFI/EMI ... conducted or transmitted ...from the final D/A stage. Because it's here ...where the bits become volts, that you can't have any perturbation of the clocking or reference voltage. If you don't appreciate this, you are playing whack-a-mole with cables.
So, I run Audiowise (www.audiowise.ca) and sell a 90dB+ sleeve that covers any cable (power esp). When a cable is not an antenna, the DAC is less affected and sounds it best.
