as far as what engineering has taught me, a dac processes audio directly and the digital audio it recieves is literally the file stored on your device.
Definitely sounds like you didn't graduate B.Eng Electrical from MIT.

But haters still going to hate no matter what! The saddest thing is that people do not answer for their words - they judge something they not have experience of. It is not only related to otg cables...basically to everything - cables, dacs, headphones, religion, watches, other people...Nowadays, unfortunately, only in prisons people pays for their words with their life, so many think a lot before they say anything.I did a blind ear test between the samsung otg vs the audioquest otg and this ifi otg.
The first 2 are pure adapters, no wires like the ifi so maybe its not completely the same.
In summary, the samsung was the worse, blur audio..followed by the ifi which is very decent considering the price.. like 15bucks? The most defined audio and best separation is the AQ which is maybe 20 bucks. We weren't testing with earphones but to a 3way competition setup in the car directly connected to the dac. The difference was minimal but noticeable..not by Just me alone but everyone (5pax) that did the test picked the ssme best adapter all playing the same song..

In theory it shouldn't matter..
But actual testing between cheap and expensive cables prove otherwise. Blind testing amoungst several people proved it to be true. It's something that should matter in digital but in actuality it does make a difference..quote a big one at thay

Well, I'm not claiming anything about cables improving audio quality although it seems excepted in traditional analog audio that it does. All the talk about how a digital signal is not affected it's just 1's and 0's isn't exactly right. The digital signal going down isn't literally a copy from the file stored on your device it's not just 1's and 0's its voltages representing a digital signal which is then decoded by the dac. That's also where some of the difference between dacs come in the algorithms used to decode the signal. Although there's various types or reclocking regenerating rebalancing the signal I don't think you'd want the original signal to be too far off, which can happen if the cable doesn't have the right resistance etc. So if analog cables quality is known to impact quality why couldn't any cable that has a voltage running through it?but please, do explain. how does a digital audio converter process digital audio files?
and how does the role of the cable come to play?

We're looking into this but can't promise anything.
