$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 have compared usb cables and find there is a difference in sound.

I am guessing you could find a cable as good as the one you mention for less. 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.

OP,  looks like this is your first USB cable purchase. I would not buy a expensive cable unless you have done A/B comparison.  Try a vendor that allows you to do cable camparison with no hassle returns.  

Music Direct and The Cable Company is a good place to start. Good luck!
