I would listen to
astelmaszek if I were you. spend the money on wine (I recommend a
good vintage port)
On a standard USB
cable you may, given the known incidence of bit errors, hear a tiny,
millisecond 'click' about once every 70 or 80 hours of use but there
is no way that a cable (some wire) could possibly affect the fidelity
of a piece of digitally encoded music travelling across it.
Please stop thinking
analogue audio connections.
You want me to
believe that this cable can extract the digital bit-stream from the
analogue, then decode the music from the digital stream, then apply
it's 'enhancements' to the music, then re-encode it to digital, then
convert back to analogue, then pass it to the DAC.
These companies rely
on
1) The thousands of
audio lovers who spent years of thinking analogue, where the cable
can make a difference.
2) customers
believing the 'reviewers' (Those guys who have never given an
expensive piece of equipment a bad review, and just happen to have an
identifiable link to make your purchase).
3) people will never
admit to having been fleeced
4) A cable that just
cost a months salary will definitely sound better
And all of this
after one of the major cable companies was caught red handed cheating
in a demo to make their cable sound better, because they knew it wa
impossible
Some say that if
somebody is rich enough and/or gullible enough and/or misinformed
then who cares. Well I care. I would still try to stop a billionaire
from buying a 'special' USB cable or a 'USB Purifier' or a 'special'
HDMI cable. None of them make any difference whatsoever
