To be clear about the USB cable, I was getting a harshness and lack of clarity with the cheap cable, like the data stream was so compromised that it sounded like bad MP3. Now, it sounds more on par with a disc. And I'm still using a generic cable to the sound card but maybe the hard drive side was the bigger issue. FYI, the hard drive is a small portable one that gets its power through the USB port, so that too could be a factor with the cable since it's doing double duty.
If the other cable further enhances sound quality, I will post a report. Of course this is based on my opinion, but I tune pianos for a career and it does require a discerning ear. If it was a placebo effect, it wouldn't be so obvious, so...yeah.
