When I started in computer audio, I went from a very cheap USB (printer) cable (literally a cable included with a printer) to a modest $100 Wire World USB cable of similar length. I noticed more definition in the low frequencies as the largest improvement. It was $100 well spent in my opinion on my system.
Generic USB 2.0 cable vs. DH Labs USB?
Is there an audible difference using a high end USB cable from PC to DAC? I'm thinking it shouldn't make any difference when transferring ones and zeros. I stream Tidal and Qobuz. I'm currently using Amazon, brand x, 5 meter. Your opinions or experiences?
My system for context:
ARC Ref 6SE preamp
ARC Ref CD-9 DAC
ARC Ref 80SE amplifier
Quad ESL 2812 speakers
Transparent Audio speaker cable
Transparent Balanced XLR interconnects
