A USB cable is nothing more than a sheild (drain) and 4 insulated wires, 2 of which are a twisted pair and carry data. One end has a type "A" connector. The other end has a type "B" connector.
At $550 the manufacturer better explain why his cable is worth it. Does his cable reduce jitter? If so, by what percent? Why is his cable worth $550? What are the advantages?
How does the $550 USB cable interact with the USB port on a typical computer, which is massed produced and made as cheaply as possible? These are the questions that should be addressed by the manuacturer and by the "experts" that recommend the cable in this forum.
