David, As you said earlier and I think everyone agrees, 'better' is a personal thing. Can you please describe what 'better' means to your ears? I've recently started using an MIT SL Matrix USB cable between my Mac mini and Expert and it sounds much cleaner, less edgy in the highs, therefore more open and musical. It somewhat surprised me how much 'better' it sounds than with the Curious USB.
