Is there a better quality Firewire cable?


I am putting together a Mac, Amarra, Weiss digital front end and need to connect everything using firewire. Long ago I discovered that digital cables also matter, but I have heard little about whether firewire cables matter.

Seems to be a lot of relevant discussion here regards USB cables (of which there appear to be more audiophile permutations than firewire); there seems to be a quite a bit of consensus that there are audible differences.

I tend somewhat to cable skepticism (though considerably less so after Chris Hoff of BPT auditioned some of his excellent stuff in my system last night), but I thought I could detect a pretty significant difference between a "stock" usb cord and the entry level Locus Design.

Does your worry about the science not adding up extend to all cabling, or do you think there is special reason for skepticism in the case of the newer digital applications?

Best,

John
