He he he he
I read this and i can agree only one half. Got bunch of usb cables from crap 2$ to 70$. So with "better" cable you won`t get less noise or more bass or treble or whatever, they all will be the same in measure but sound will change a little. lol one more guy who think there is a difference. Well, there is, end of story.
If you don`t hear any changes, you got similar cable or your system probably can not reproduce all that small details and all cables are same, than, simply stich with that you have and you done.
Thing is, when you change bunch of cables for better usb cable on dac, interconnect cable for better one, speaker cables for better one, power cable for better one you will still have same amount of bass, mid, treble etc but than sound will change more and more with every piece, sometimes in wrong direction sometimes in good, depend on cables etc.
How can usb cable sound different? Easy, if USB cable is bad and not even made from copper than zeros and ones (voltage signal) need to pass so many barricades on their way, that signal is deviated a little on other end of cable that DAC think, ok i got this i play that, and on end, what you get? You get crap analytic techno sound from your expensive DAC. Because all small fine peaks and details are eaten by your mighty amazon Printer cable and only high peaks will left untouched and that`s why test are always good. This is very important where analog signal got eaten by some crap cable. You will NEVER have natural, life-like sound from your speakers with bad cable, NEVER. Same goes for capacitors, but that`s other story.
You can buy best speakers in world, amplifiers etc and put some crap cables there and ppl will laf on you when they hear your sound.
My friend also did not believe in cables, he say hahahahaha there is no way that cable can sound different especially in digital domain. We told him, if you hear difference you will order a Pizza for us. OK, he agree, Than we change only ONE power cable for crap PC power cable on amplifier, he just say. Where is the phone
p.s. You don`t need to waste 2000$ on usb cable, this days there are many very very good, any kind of cables online for 10-30$. Just google it.
And guy`s don`t fool yourself that amazon cable on picture will sound good. It will never
sound natural. If you listen a techno, please don`t waste money on cables. amazon one will be even better in that case than 2000$ cable for that.
Good luck with that amazon cable.
