What is the best USB cable under $500 for a natural presentation and good detail ?

You are all ignoring one important factor:   This is a digital cable transferring digital information of one’s and zeros, in packets with error detection and correction.  Just like hdmi cables, they always work perfectly unless they’re too long.  ANY usb cable will work and sound exactly the same as any other.  
 

anyone who thinks they can hear the difference between two usb cables is in fantasyland.   Only analog cables affect the sound quality.  

Wow!! Are you OK buddy? Did you forget your meds today?

@thyname 

Yes, it has.  Like I typed, pretty much all USB cables are the same.

YES, THEY ARE THE SAME.

(I thought if I typed it in all caps maybe you could understand it better.  Probably not.)

Well, you could cut yours so it did not work, I guess.  GENIUS!

All the electrons I have ever interviewed say...oh, what's the use.  I suppose if you scream something loud enough and long enough it becomes true.  I WON THE ELECTION.  USB CABLES THAT COST A BILLION DOLLARS ARE WONDERFUL!!!

 

Good grief.

You will always have members like@secretaryguy coming into threads bashing things they don’t have a clue about. It’s the same in every forum, nothing new here. It all sounds the same. These guys need to take up needlepoint or coin collecting.

I use the IN-AKUSTIK Reference USB 2.0 cable, it's has been designed especially for low-loss HD audio streaming and has very low jitter

.75 mters at a cost of approx $400

Very smooth presentiation with tremendous instrument seperation

This was a recommnedation from Andrew Gillis at Small Green Computer

He has done very indepth comparisons of USB cables and a great source for additional info

Guys like me get tired of seeing people waste money on things that don't matter. People like you just keep regurgitating things they read on a magazine somewhere because they think it makes them seem "educated". I see it everywhere on forums. (People talking about Magnepans are generally the worst offenders.)

Trust me. I've forgotten more about audio than you will ever know.

But, by all means. Spew on. Spend on. It's your money to waste. And clearly the mods here won't risk offending the the companies that feed their golden goose.
