USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole

I see no reason to engage further with @soix due to him obviously being a legend in his own mind. I will add one thing to my original post, as long as the cable you are using for USB service can pass the bandwidth of data being transmitted, it’s all about the bits. If the cable has the required bandwidth then you gain nothing by spending more other than perhaps physical appearance and possibly durability. Other than that, it’s a wash.

@livinon2wheels Ha! What exactly are your qualifications for, well, anything? If you can’t hear the differences between cables then I truly feel sorry for you. Audio Science Review is calling your name hard. You’ll find more like-minded friends there who also can’t use or trust their own ears. 

I don’t appreciate being told I dont know what I am talking about. I have likely done more with audio than you have and for quite a bit longer as well. The original poster asked for opinions and I expressed mine. It’s within my rights here as a member to do so, if you don’t like it kindly go whine about it somewhere else.

@livinon2wheels So, I wrote professional reviews of audio equipment for 17 years and have been an audiophile for 40+ years. You have done more than me with audio? Maybe, but I highly doubt it especially given your comments on cables. Plus, your comment flies in the face of not only my but most very experienced people here. Yes, you have your right to your opinion, but this is America and I have the right to refute your opinion as much as you have to express yours. Again, if you can’t hear differences between cables unless there are physical defects, okay. 99% of the very experienced people here would say something very different.

Save your money, if the cable does not have physical defects, there will be no difference whatsoever in the sound quality.

@livinon2wheels You have no idea what you’re talking about, and if you can’t hear differences between cables then either your system or hearing is deficient. Either way, your input on cables here is useless. What’s your system BTW. Bose?

I don’t think you can return this, but their cables offer great value.  Here you get 5N silver with separate cable legs for data and power, neither of which you get from other manufacturers unless you pay big $$$ and this will set you back all of $150.  A better value I don’t think you’ll find.  I’ve got several of their cables and they’re all excellent in terms of both quality and value.  Best of luck.
