few days back I used my cheap Redmi S1 as transport to Hugo 2 with short silver usb cable from penon audio with three small ferrite besds (it could accommodate only three) i would say it bettered the optical input with clear margin. may be it was due to Hugo 2 clock coming in picture with usb input. sound with ferrite on usb cable was lot smoother and darker. then I tried same with cheap thin long data cable with lot of ferrites ( total six ) along with jitterbug . the sound degraded like anything, no bass, no depth and extremely congested. it was like something has been sucked out of the sound. it was strange experience. Theni tried my oyaide usb A class 1m cable with four ferrites and sound was again lot better . can't explain is it due to thin data cable which was not able to transmit the data properly ?
