At $550 the manufacturer better explain why his cable is worth it. Does his cable reduce jitter? If so, by what percent?

Jitter?? What's that? EVERYONE knows that the dacs reclock everything! :)

You never disappoint Jim.

  But if it gives a better, more accurate music presentation does it matter what the explanation is or if the manufacturer is completely off in why it does what it does?

    No it doesn't matter Sev. Of course you are right here.
    
    I was just making fun of Jim's inconsistencies. He argues that USB cables CAN'T make a difference and that Jitter doesn't exist because of reclocking at the dac....but now is wanting to have the manufacturer explain how their cable produces less jitter.....
