    TL;DW

    Guy is shocked when he finds out his old CD player hooked up via coax sounds better then the USB input on his DAC. Tests a bunch of different USB cables claiming each one incrementally improves the sound. Apparently does single blind testing to prove his results.

    I am not convinced at all of the claims. Pourly made usb cable can cause problems but respecting the standard does not mean expensive.
    than you for sharing the video

    I've got a much higher resolution system than the chap in the video. I also have 15+ USB cables here and other interconnects and power cables.

    There is definitely a difference in sonics using different USB cables.
