USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole

Time to audition USB cables. I have always used the same cable a 2004 beauty that came with my Mac G4 in 2004, so this should be fun.

A few questions from the team here:

1. Best way to audition so that I can return what I don't like? I'm in the U.S.

2. What brands would you suggest. Budget is <$500 for 1m. I will audition 2-3 to start with. Curious Cables is one.

3. Is there break-in required? If so, what method and for how long?

I promise to report back my impressions here.

Bits are bits? A bit short, that. Read up on distortion in DA conversion as a result of RMI, EFI and ground level noise. If you get that continue reading on timing errors through impurities in the metal, etc. Or join Amir as suggested by @soix
