Hello,
Let me know what you think about this one. I contacted a DAC manufacturer about a problem(problem is a high pitch noise from the speakers everytime I start the computer with the DAC connected. This is apparently solved by having a self-powered HUB between the computer and DAC-usb cable...anywho) and I got this advice on improving the sound:
"Replace the Kimber USB with a pair of commercially manufactured cables. Ones that I would recommend are any that are built to USB 2.0 specifications, and as short as is practical for your installation.
This will give markedly better performance over the Kimber cable you have been using."
What do the audiophiles here say? Should I try to return the oh-so very recommended Kimber cable with another cheap one as suggested?
EDIT: I was suggested to buy a Belkin Gold Series Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Cable, 6 feet.
