[TOS #7] From: Sound Cards

In general, nothing. Unless you have a faulty cable or one which is mismatched for the application, even the cheapest cabling should be audibly indistinguishable from any other proper cable.

I had my reply deleted for recounting a personal experience of a direct comparison. I can't be bothered to type another one.

Cables and interconnects: for me, people should definitely step up from the 'giveaway' stuff, like ditching the cruddy earbuds supplied with most portable player. But the law of diminishing returns kicks in quite early at least in my opinion. I don't know what's on the market in the USA, but in the UK, Richer Sounds have some keenly-priced cables and interconnects that are worth a modest investment.


What do they offer over something like the standard cables included with their CD player or DAC or whatnot?

Earbuds (and headphones and speakers in general) are mechanical devices with various physical tradeoffs, so it makes sense that they sound different.

But what exactly does "upgrading" your cables and interconnects offer on the sound quality front?
