Anyone compare DH Silver Sonic to WW Silver USB?

Looking at these two as possibilities for a USB cable from my SB Touch w/EDO to PS Audio PWD. I know they are not in the same price range, but I've read a lot of good things about the DH Labs so I was wondering if it could compare to the Wireworld Silver Starlight. Or if not, where it may fall short.

Not looking for anything beyond the price of the WW.

Oh for heaven's sake, it's a USB cable. Don't stress too much on this, a decently built $20 cable will give you everything you need. Spending big bux on a USB cable makes no sense at all...

Dear RW, you have obviously not heard of those snake-oil lubricated cables---it makes the electrons travel faster, and in a more ordinate fashion.

DH Labs is known for making a good product for a fair price. I'd go with that one.

You are right, Dalig, I have no experience with snake-oil cables. But I *do* have almost 30 years as a Ntwk. Admin/Programmer and I know that either the cable passes the bits or it doesn't. Bits is bits, folks, and NO amount of money will cause 2 sets of identical bits to sound different from each other. Any mfgr. who tells you so is, flat-out, a liar.

If you want a great cable without paying stoopid money, check out this AudioQuest for $35 delivered:

Folks who spend uber-bux on USB cables have far too much disposable income...
