I've had a lot of "4k 60Hz DP1.4" cables that actually couldn't even handle UHD HDR10 10-bit at 60Hz (but by dropping any one of these requirements, they'd work fine) And that's at 2m length. For anything longer I'll probably go with fiber (Audiophiles were right all along /s)

optical fiber is audibly different if you’re plugged into a noisy gaming computer with a big gpu

Compared to what? Cheap on-board DACs? Sure, cause Vcc is very noisy. But in that case, you should just go with HDMI audio nowadays.

no even mid range dacs costing several hundred dollars to a thousand or more benefit audibly from this hdmi audio not terribly ubiquitous

What situation would that be? Most reasonable home DACs use USB, most home audio setups nowadays use HDMI (as toslink is only 2ch lossless or 6ch lossy), and professional audio uses its own spec that isn't compatible with consumer toslink

in the case i’m familiar with it’s optical out to. chord mojo. when i finally switched to toslink i was quite surprised by the improvement in clarity vs usb

Honestly, with recording the issue is significantly worse than with playback, and with a USB hub with proper power supply with clean DC even recording is measurably *perfect*. (I’m using a Behringer UMC22 connected to the USB hub in my monitor)

If your playback is audibly noisy when connected to your computer, you should replace either the motherboard or power supply, as such noisy DC could actually damage certain components and isn’t in-spec for USB

i’m talking about something a little more subtle than hearing the noise, it’s more like coherence with transients, the air around the brighter instruments and voices,

Are you talking about a driver issue or a physical problem?

injecting electrical noise into an analog circuit will usually cause problems without a lot of good work to mitigate…
