you'd be doing me a favor if you would stop posting in this thread.  I am probably more skeptical about cables than you, but as has been mentioned numerous times in this thread....Take it to the sound science forum, which is exactly what that forum was designed for.
 
this thread is for what USB cable you use.
 

 
Okay that is absolutely fine by me. I will not post any more comments in this thread. I don't wish to offend.

Audioquest Cinnamon....I think they better the sound so they do.....

BTW,
 
anyone use any Kimber USB cables?

I remember when high end SPDIF digital cables were meant with the same skepticism.  Don't knock it until you try it, it makes a difference.

I have researched this extensively

 
Great, then you won't mind posting your bibliography.
 
Perhaps I'm just a weirdo, but I listen with my ears, not with test equipment, and my ears tell me that I get better results with the WireWorld cable, which physically separates the power and signal leads, than I do with the cheap Belkin cable from Staples.  As I'm sure you're aware, USB power coming from a computer is notoriously dirty, and if it's all the same to you I'd prefer not to have those ripples playing around with the time-alignment of my digital bitstream.
 
Or do you also believe that all jitter is inaudible?

One of the...I don't know...bunch of cables that came with my printers or various other equipment.
