USB cables really matter

I have been messing around with all manner of USB cables. After a lot of trial and error I first settled on Uptone USPCB connectors. I have now replaced them with an INTONA USB Reference cable to the DAC:
WHOA! The increase in transient transparency, frequency extension and horizontal and vertical sound stage improvement is nothing short of revelatory. The inconsistencies in USB performance clearly result from interference and mirroring within the cable and finding the right shielding solution is paramount.

USB cables do make a difference and in my case it was huge. I`m using a Shunyata Research Sigma USB, not cheap but a huge jump in performance compared to my Nordost Blue USB, it was like adding a new component. For a long time i was not a believer that there were differences in USB cables i`am now.
