I encourage you all to spend some time on computeraudiophile.com. Gordon Rankin of Wavelength Audio,ltd. has a few interesting "observations" that would get your juices flowing. As you are probably aware, he and his team have designed and patented a state of the art asynchronous USB protocol for their DACs.
Gordon admits, quite emphatically, that he has heard a "difference" in USB cables even in asynchronous USB. How can this be? I believe that he does hear a difference. If I understand asynchronous USB correctly, there should not be an audible difference between cables. But there is. Hence you can spend in upwards of $5 for a 2.5m USB cable. I'm not making this up! Even after 7 pages this discussion is not going to end. The axiom "everything makes a difference" lives on! -- earwaxer Waxer Transporter Winsome labs mouse (modified) Maggie MMG's (modified) JPS Labs power cords Audioquest Granite speaker wire Silver Bullet interconnect HSU research sub ------------------------------------------------------------------------ earwaxer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32040 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74721 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
