I once did a single blind test of an optical cable versus a coax cable. Levels were perfectly matched. Spent about a half hour listening to music with both cables until I could identify a short segment of music that I noticed a difference in sound. We then did the blind test with that segment of music I correctly identified which cable I was hearing in 17 out of 17 tries. Personally I feel DBT is a waste of time and feel only long term listening is the way to compare components. I have an Atlas USB cable and am being sent a Chord USB cable. I will compare the to and see if I here any differences
