Will a quality USB cable make a difference....



Will a higher quality USB cable make a difference when being used between a storage device (bus-powered mobile drive) and a music server (w/o DAC), as opposed to those used between a source (iMac) and USB converter/DAC? Can anyone confirm an audible improvement?

This, like any other "does cable make a difference" related question, will likely generate strong and polar opposite replies.

In MY experience, In MY Opinion... Digital cables including USB make little to no difference. In fact I've done a/b switching with Optical versus check coax versus, etc. and found little to no difference between them.

Don't waste your money on "high quality" USB cables...use that money on a better DAC...that's where you can definitely can hear a difference!

Now detractors (from my belief) will say that I don't have the system or savy to hear the difference...Not true.
