Good news, they do shorter 0.75 meter version for “only” £228, now if only I had an insanely expensive audiophile HI FI set up, a digital collection that wasn’t atleast 70% mp3 and un abused ear drums to take adavantage of such cable jewelery
Certainly not nothing extra unless your one of those mad obsessive hi end audio types that can happily spend a grand on specialist turntable feet alone. A good friend of mines dad is in to his Hi Fi, the bloke has spent silly money but it has to be said his system has a real special sound, like your sitting next to a live instrument. But once you get to a certain point the money you have to spend to gain such tiny steps forward in higher quality is utter mental and I’m sure some of there new audiophile toys/addition’s can act as placebo’s any way, not that I could tell my battered old ears are fecked
lol its a digital signal. Silver makes pretty much no differnce. Only thing that really matters is shielding so that less data has to get resent. I tell you wat I will personally make usb cables with 2wice the shielding of this. I will achieve this by wrapping tin foil round them a couple of times then put a plastic overcoat on it.
I am now selling these for a limited time offer of $200
Digital is digital… it doesn’t care if the copper wires it travels over have been blessed by fairies, or clad in dragon scales… it sends 1’s and 0’s… that’s it… if the ones and zeros make it, the signal is 100% if it isn’t, the signal is 0%… it’s there… or it isn’t…
See the pattern? there is no ‘sorta digital’ signal…
The only time you want to think about your digital cable purchase is if you are running it inside walls (you don’t want to ever worry about it), or if you are running more than 16’ or so… even then, you don’t need monster… just quality…
I’ll say it again… DIGITAL DOESN’T CARE ABOUT THE CABLE IT TRAVELS OVER!
*Yes, I know most of US know that most of the marketing is BS, but most does not equal all…
**Good cables will always matter when dealing with analogue signals…

Like tombruton said, a digital signal is not subject to anything like the same level interference problems as an analogue one. Like digital TV, as I’m sure most people have seen, it’s either perfect or it’s horribly glitchy. If there’s a storm, you don’t get a fuzzy signal, you get a fucked one, because there’s a certain point past which the digital signal is too degraded to be recontructed. Up til that point, it’s absolutely fine, and a 300€+ USB cable ain’t gonna make it better!
interferance will not affect audio quality. As if the data doesnt get through properly it is sent again. The only thing that happens if data keeps needing to be resent it can mean not enough data gets throw and causes an audio dropout
