Is there any truth to USB 3.0 providing better performance? I suppose it would make sense with higher bandwidth capabilities, but a quick search shows that Supra USB cables are 2.0. Saying that, DAC USB inputs seem to be 2.0 anyway, so maybe it's just more marketing gimmicks
edit: similarly, I'd be interested in seeing whether the output on the source itself has anything to do with it. I used to have audio artefacts all the time when I plugged it directly into my USB 3.0 port on my old Windows laptop, but since using Thunderbolt 4 I've not had any issues. there's gotta be a lot more variables beyond just cables that affect how the digital audio data is passed from source to DAC over USB
