So I found the Curious USB cables first on a well known audiophile forum. I saw the $350 price tag they wanted for a simple USB Type A -> USB Type B cable. I thought it must've been a troll post at first. Then I googled their website, and found out people actually somehow believe that a USB Cable is somehow going to "affect the sound" when running to a dac. This is just as bad as those HDMI cables Linus reviewed a while back. I love music and I believe there are plenty of ways to affect how music sounds. But the existence of these cables are causing me to lose faith in the audiophile community. What's even worse is well known audiophile sites actually buy into these claims.
Just when I thought that was the worst the audiophile community could throw at me, I found an "audiophile" class ethernet cable from JCAT which retails for $1000. I can't believe how gullible the audiophile community is. I'm all for spending a bit of cash for a better sound (on the analog side of the DAC), but this is ridiculous. There's even more products on the JCAT website that just send me into a fury, but I can't even find the words to express my frustration at this point.
