The comparison is between Apple’s $130 USB-C vs Amazon Basics $12 USB-C vs generic $3 USB-C.

I have my doubts that audiophile branded USB cables are anywhere near as sophisticated as Apple’s high dollar cable.

Would you be willing to pay nearly 50 times more for Apple’s cable transport your 24/192 audio signal?

    Shitty comparison 3 cables with the USB type C connector. The apple cable is a Thunbolt 4 cable which is rated for a lot higher data transmission than the other 2 regular USB 3 cables. Just as a side note thunderbolt has transmission rate of 40GB/s a second while USB 3.0 has only 5GB/s. Imagine comparing a cable for its shielding and insides if their spec the use don‘t line up.
