$500 USB cable

Someone is trying to sell some fancy (used and 2 ft long) USB cable for $497.50. I am genuinely curious since I am no expert. What does this ultra expensive USB cable do to your audio system (besides transferring digital data)?

I mean what are the odds a short usb cable could actually be worth that amount? just guessing here but my instinct is: avoid" There's really no reason to avoid a cable like that. You try it first, and then make a decision.

With cables, results vary. If you were to evaluate the AQ and WW cables in your system, you may agree with audioman58's assessment, hear something different, or maybe here no difference at all. All 3 scenario's are completely valid. That's why its so important to try them first.

That was not an answer to my own question." In your first post you asked a question. In your 2nd post, it looks like you had your mind made up all along. I would go over it with you, but I can't because you had my post removed.
