Like Philjolet said. Your cables are too long. Put a powered hub halfway and you should be good.
32 Feet USB : sound degradation issues, what next?
Due to limitations of my room, my desktop computer is across the room from my DAC.
My cheapo 4 feet USB cable gave me great sound, but once I added the 32 feet USB extension to it, the sound degrades significantly. Details are lost, sound is harsher, bass gets bloated.
It annoys me that digital cables (its binary data, come on!) has so much effect on the sound.
My question is do USB cables need a burn-in time ?
Or
Do I need to figure out a way to keep my USB cables down to a 3-4 feet ?
I have not seen any audiophile USB cables that are 20-30 feet long, if they exist, do you have any experience with them ?
