Is computer audio a bust?
.....not to say the USB cable doesn't have to be designed well, but it just has to get the data from A to B with no errors. But it's a no-brainer why it can cost so much less.

Audiolabyrinth "The most exspensive USB cables made are very inexspensive and the performance is about the same as the vincent RCA interconnect, there is some USB cables that are $300.00 under $1,000.00 period, ask your self why is that?, lets see... 
The Power of Assumptions
....and to add to that, those types of experiments,as well as group ABX, tend to force an immediate answer rather than allow you to take time to really think about it. Also, those same types of experiments tend to take place outside of our comfort...

I guess it's all relative. "Good" can be construed in different ways. It can mean 'sufficient' or 'decent' or 'OK' as in 'good enough'. Or like many companies products where they have a good, better and best quality of the same item where 'good' d...

Can I play a 192/24 file on my Digilink III?
". I used to have this DAC connected to the Mac Mini using Toslink optical cables. I wonder if that might allow me to bypass the USB on the DAC and input of at least 96/24 from my Mac Mini"That should work. 
Can I play a 192/24 file on my Digilink III?
That particular DAC is going on 8 human yrs old......that's around 20 yrs in DAC yrs...ha ha. USB interfaces on DACs have come a long way since then.
