The Absolute Sound "review" of USB cable reads suspiciously like a press releaste

People who envision actual 1’s and 0’s traveling down their USB cable genuinely crack me up.

They will then accuse YOU of magical thinking and fairy dust arguments.  Oh the irony.

Two questions:

1.  Can a 1 be mistaken for a 0 at the usb receiver if the waveform is degraded enough?  

2.  If the DAC is receiving a degraded waveform and the data recovery circuitry is working hard to sort through it, does this circuitry not increase the electrical noise in the DAC?  If so, is it negligible or does that just depend on the DAC design?

My approach is to try to provide the cleanest signal possible from streamer to DAC within reason, if for nothing other than peace of mind.  This does not include cables made from unobtainium however.

Just thought of another:

I upsample all of my PCM content to DSD 512.

Is the data recovery fast enough to handle a poor signal with that much data coming through?
