I very much have the same experience as others here. I was skeptical about the idea about USB-cables making any difference, until I tried different cables an realized the better cables made a very significant improvement. I am not a technician, so I was stuck in the layman misunderstanding about digital signals. I had an explanation some weeks ago by an audio engineer, who explained to me that the digital signal basically is transferred as any analog signal anyway, but I didn´t really understand how he meant. The explanation above is better for me, the layman nerd. The cable I use for the moment, from Supra, has separate "channels" for current and signals.

Dear all,
 
Although not capable of completely understanding the technical things, but I'm much more convinced now that the cable really counts, and I'm very excited about the growing collection of this brand and intrigued to learn and know every time a new product comes out,  thanks you all!

Hi Lapwan, I think you're right. I've heard the sound improve by changing my coax cable both initially and when listening to music a few days later. I found fitting ferrites (see another thread on the forum if interested in details) helped as well.

Hi Lapkwan, it was in this thread http://audio-forum.gspaudio.co.uk/power-cords_topic1506_page2.html?KW=ferrite where Graham explained the best position for placing ferrites on a cable to suppress radio frequencies.
