"In the context of PC audio, the OP noted that the design of USB cables reportedly affected the sound quality of the output and asked "what could explain that phenomenon?". It's a fair question."
It's obvious. Losses on the cable and the resulting affect on risetimes is detrimental to the probability of detecting a transition at the receiver. If the receiver has noisy voltage (they all do), then the switching threshold is changing in time. If the risetimes are slowed this can therfore result in more jitter.
