But all the problems should be rather clearly audible though. Either it just causes bits to be interpreted wrongly giving high-frequency noise (harshness) or in extreme case pops or clicks. If the bit errors are rare it might be difficult or impossible to hear them. To record the digital out and compare might be best way to really see how common these things are. And to see what a twisting of optical cable does or even hammer (if it still works). No offense, but when someone says a digital cable gives "more solid bass" or something similiar that is absolute bollocks. Btw, does anyone know how USB audio streaming works? I understand it is somehow SPDIF based and seen someone saying one USB cable being better than another one.
