I put A NUC running ROCK in a fanless akasa case with its Teddy Pardo power supply right next to the 250 and connected through usb.with a very good cable.The improvement was impressive.
I moved from a Curious USB cable that made no difference in sound quality at all to the MIT SL-Matrix that actually made the sound more natural, less edgy. I tested it with both cables connected to both USB inputs on my Od'A so I could switch without knowing which was which. After the disappointment of the Curious cable I was surprised that not only could I hear a difference, it was as clear as daylight and I had a clear favourite. I still don't believe a cable alone over such a short distance can make any difference at all on an asynchronous signal but I guess there's something going on in those little boxes on either side of the cable.
