I can understand the logic behind your question. When you transfer an audio file from one device to another using a USB cable you get an identical file copied. The cable either works or it doesn't and it's all digital. However, during the transfer there may have been errors but the USB drivers either end can detect this and request the data be sent again. Audio gear doesn't have this luxury. The data has to get there, on time, every time.

That said, a ?5 USB cable is probably capable of achieving this 99.99999999% of the time so it is still snake oil and I'd love to see the results of a blind test between ?5 and ?500 usb cables.

I think a very large amount of this audiophile stuff is a simple case of 'the emperor's new sound system'. Unless the person buying it is like, a bat or a dolphin or something.

Ideally I want a customer base of Quiet Bat People.

Oh I love the pencil art! It's just the way the site is put together is somewhat '90s. Also just going to eartohear.co.uk lists the website contents in raw text format. Did you do the site yourself?
