Thank you all for chiming in with the HDMI brand suggestions. I just returned a $26 USB 2.0 A to B cable that runs from my Mac Mini to my dac and got a $5 one off from Amazon and I swear the expensive one sounds better. The cheap one is awful in my opinion. I just looked up Wireworld on amazon for the USB 2.0 A to B and they've got one for a $100. It's probably pretty good. Comments please. Thanks
