How in the world can a USB cable _in any way_ change or influence the analog signal that comes out of the DAC??!!

BEST ANSWER: Ah yes, a cable naysayer. Perhaps long term viewing of the Cable Asylum portion of the Audio Asylum website will help. My ears tell me there are great differences in audio reproduction among USB cables. The Monolith is an excellent cable at a very reasonable price.

The theory is that the sound is only as good as the weakest link which is often the cables. While it may
not improve the sound it might keep it from sounding worse.

It has to be competently made and meet the required spec at a minimum. Noise rejection (i.e to ensure good data transfer) is also required.

I suspect it really cannot, unless the cable is frayed and lacks continuity. I think this cable is likely to hold up physically.

BEST ANSWER: The characteristic impedance of a USB cable is 90 Ohms. Any competent USB cable design engineering will feature a 90 Ohm characteristic impedance. Ask Monoprice if they have the specs if you wish to be assured.

Best USB cable tried so far for my system
I had a $90 AQ USB cable connecting from a media server to Denafrips DAC and was quite happy with it. After seeing many good reviews about the Monolith USB cable I decided to give it a try since it only costed $15. Well, I didn't expect to hear such a difference between the USB cables, this one made the system sound much fuller and holographic, also with more details for each instrument (orchestral recordings). After realizing USB cable did matter, I went ahead ordered a cable made in Europe that won accolades from many audiophiles. Again I was able to hear differences, but still preferred the Monolith as it was more transparent and balanced (vs thicker and bass-heavy sound from the other cable).

Best value ever!
I was a little skeptical that a USB cable could make a difference but I was happily surprised with this excellent cable.
Using a super quality setup (with Audioquest Nighthawk Carbon headphones, Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital DAC, going to a JDS Labs EL DAC II, I was able to hear a noticeable improvement in soundstage definition, air and clarity of cymbals and a focus and liquidness to vocal midrange.
I'm super impressed given this is my first purchase from Monoprice for anything "audiophile".
