USB cable recommended?

For about 10 years, I used a Chord-C USB cable that came in a blister pack on an audio magazine with a combined price of £5.99. that’s less than $10. They still make it and it costs £50 now, that’s about $65. It was the strangest bit of marketing because the magazine itself contained an annual review of USB cables and their product of the year was a £400 Chord cable, but they admitted that the £5 Chord-C was just as good. Probably the only time in audio history that a recommended product is actually given away with the magazine.

I’ve always been a ones and zeros sort of guy. I took a view that differences people heard were probably more due to power leakage or noise or whatever.

For no rational reason at all, I recently bought a NeoTech Silver UP-OCC usb cable. It gives me a certain piece of mind, so I can only recommend it from the psychological perspective.
