Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: cables, cables, cables...

"USB cables may make a tremendous difference on the final sound, no matter how expensive your DAC may be; a really good USB cable is able to improve so much the SQ, that at times it may make possible even to overcome an external SPDIF converter (which needs a further SPDIF cable, in addition); make sure you got a more than simply decent USB cable"

Care to show us how that is possible? Yes there is some merit to noise being conducted into a DAC but I must question how bad that problem really is. It's easy to measure the added noise on the DAC analog output.

Especially if the USB protocol used is packetized. There is no way for the cable to influence subtle audio differences.

This is well proven telecommunications engineering.
