Is this more Trolling? USB cables don't carry analog or audio signals so it is IMPOSSIBLE for them to sound different! USB stands for Universal Serial Bus and USB Cables carry DATA, IE Ones and Zeros, Digital. Not an analog signal in sight. No matter how one designs the cable as long as its intact, serviceable, and built to the USB specification, they are ALL the same especially where audio is concerned because they don't have anything to do with audio. And of course you don't use USB Cables for Audio because nobody does. USB is for DATA. And Gordon Rankin is catering to himself and the people that make money off this kind of tripe. I like his DAC. But since DACs take a digital signal in (as all DACs do) it just needs any USB cable. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80786 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
