USB cables are always a debate (as other digital cables).
Like many other protocols hand-shaking is in place. In addition, many of the new streamers have quite a large buffer. So a decent cable or a real high-end cable should not bring any concern on whether the package is received correct and on time.
So in case you are transporting data that is already in digital form (like a streamer with big buffer) to a DAC (like a Devialet with sufficient buffer) - meaning to take out the timing effects of converting analogue to digital first - then I do not get why cables would differ.
But I'm sure I'm wrong some how...
Anyways, I enjoy reading people's observations even though - just like mine - they are probably highly biased indeed.
