It's amazing these computer thingies work at all, isn't it?
I feel sorry for MS. I'm pretty sure the unnamed company he was talking with were discussing a SATA cable used inside a box housing a computer AND a DAC. As we know, mixing those technologies in close proximity requires special attention to RFI and other noise artefacts. It's entirely possible that one cable may outperform another in that context, because of noise radiated from the cable impacting the DAC clock performance or the analogue side of the DAC. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
