Inexpensive is OK... RE: I use an inexpensive

Yup, inexpensive works just fine.

Have tried a few different cables as I posted in the past. No difference to my ears. For fun the other day a buddy brought over his Audioquest Carbon USB (~$120 for 3 feet). I switched back and forth about 3 or 4 times with my 6-foot <$20 cable (may have been Belkin Pro USB2).

IMO, no difference. Have never come across any USB cable I thought made any significant difference in my setup.

Equipment used to evaluate recently: AMD X6 PC / Win 7 / (almost) silent setup --> Benchmark DAC1 via USB --> Sennheiser HD800 headphones (luv these babies!)
