Hi there,
I just read a review of a USB cable on this site. The sound quality was described with terms such as "flabby base" and "clear treble", etc. If a cable used for a digital signal results in a "clear treble" or produces a "flabby base" it must mean that the bit stream is changed by the cable. So, if I would use the same cable to transfer a data-file from an external drive to my computer, the file must necessarily be corrupted since the cable changes the signal, right?
I suspect there is absolutely zero difference between these cables, cheap or expensive (assuming they are properly build to actually transmit a signal in the first place), but maybe I'm missing something?
