buy a usb cable or thumbdrive?

Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

I run files thru an Oppo 105 using an external hard drive. No computer. Just using a standard USB cable. Using the dac in the Oppo. Trying to decide if it would be best to buy a better cable or load the music on a couple of large thumb drives? The Oppo will play from either storage type. The external hard drive uses a wall wart which is something else to plug in, plus could add noise to the system. Which has the best sound quality?
thanks
