not whether a certain quality of copper was used!
I have absolutely nothing against oxygen-free copper because nobody has been
able to prove to me that it sounds in any way inferior to normal copper.

(...) I have tried some expensive USB cables, but found that there is absolutely no correlation between price and SQ. If you believe that USB cables can have a different sound, take your armful of USB printer cables out of your computer cabinet and listen to all of them. You may just find one that sounds better than the others - and no, I can't figure out why. (...) .
+1.
The real problem with a USB cable is the USB part, not the cable...
Well put, Vincent. I have customers who won't spend the afternoon to build themselves a $400 music server because they are convinced that a $50,000 one will sound better. Unfortunately, these are the guys that keep some charlatans in business.

I do. If a natural disaster hits like the volcano going off near our house, I like to be able to connect all the wires to my mask and breath the oxygen in them. Can't do that with these fancy, Oxygen-free cables!!!I have absolutely nothing against oxygen-free copper...
This is why you never see USB being used in a professional studio.

I think the emphasis is on using heavy bus bars, oxygen-free or not...

The only thing that USB should be used for is your keyboard and mouse!
I"ve always felt too many format conversions degrade the sound.
