Rio Tubes laid it out for me in the link below about usb & I2S. I'm betting that even with ASYNC or pace car or whatever... the higher your dac/system is in resolution the more one hears digital effects in cables.

Thanks for addressing USB robustness... I remember I use to drive myself crazy listening to the differences in dig coax cables too (back in the ol cd transport to DAC days). I chose an Orchid cable back then that I liked. So, ya, nothing magical or more robust about coax either I guess.
Hope to talk with you within the year about possible configurations/needs using your stuff.

  Certainly both S/PDIF and USB cables can cause timing effects or jitter. This is why better cables in both cases can improve the sound with most interfaces.
