USB cable

Again for the record, part of the sound I am getting is based on the USB cable. The cable makes a differnce. I use DIY cable. Keep it short. Mine is under a foot. I took a good quality USB2 cable with gold plated connectors and chopped off the connectors. I replaced the cable with twisted pair from catv cable. one pair for data. the other pair for ground and 5v. I tried shielded but ultimately prefer no shield. As I power the usb card with a linear supply, I cut the +5v wire to further isolate the components.
