Very unlikely thats not how things work . If broken yes , There are old post where Archimago measures and listen several USB cables . They dont seem to affect the output of any of his DAC's hence there will be no difference to hear* . But certainly include them in the controlled test just as a fringe possibility he have not used the regen before so the variables are not the same . Thats the piont with subjektive evaluation . A DBT *is* actually a subjektive evaluation with as much bias as possible removed . Is this a well built USB2/3 spec cable or some exotic design ? It's a god to use a qaulity cable that adheres to spec. It does not have to be very expensive , I fear that some of the more expensive exotic stuff are actually worse (woo woo design involved) or does nothing . * They measure the same . Hope we all can agree that if its measures the same it is the same othervise we truly are in magical unicorn land . Then burden of prof is on people who thinks identical soundwaves can sound different for other reasons than bias and placebo effects . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
