Does high performance usb A-B cable effect usb direct recording sound quality?

 

I lost bundle helix usb cable and try to buy new usb cable.

 

but there are so many high performans cable.

 

like Audioquest's carbon cable etc..

 

But i think helix's output is digital signal, not analog signal so these expensive cable doesn't effect sound a lot.

 

Maybe good cable prevents disconnection with pc and helix but not effect sound quality.

 

How do you think about this??

Exactly. A digital signal either works or it doesn't; one cable doesn't work 'better' than another in terms of sound quality, A better quality cable is determined by the shielding and can be useful if the signal is being carried over long distances where things like electrical interference might make a difference in potential loss of signal. But for the short distances involved in your situation, and the ability to simply move th cable If interference is a factor, don't waste your money on more  expensive so-called-better cables.

 

Same with TV and HDMI cables - more expensive does not equal better.

Digital signals either arrive at their destination or they don't... the idea that one cable is "better" at transporting 1's and 0's than another is marketing bull$hit.
