@citi_fog .. difference in an audio recording because you changed a * SATA cable between your m/b & hdd, than those differences are in your head ..
"..In short, recordings sounded more like musical performances then recordings."
As Adrian says, this is based on "nothing" - where's the scientific data to back the claims?? I get it, this is simply another marketing gimmick in a vain attempt to try and pass off snake skin oil as liquid gold.
"..Of course changing a cable can improve things.."
Duh ...uhhh yeah .. for starters, it'll make a difference if it's plugged in .. that 'normally helps' .. and with some electrical current from the bus connector to the drive, yes, there should be a transfer of data (proviso: healthy, working m/b & h.d.d). As rtk has already stated, since when did binary data have "quality"?!? I mean .. really?? Can you .. h*ck anyone .. show me an 'analog 0 bit' and a 'digital 0 bit'?? No? That's basically what these guys (and you) - and any other loony involved is trying to claim here.
I'll lay it down nice & easy like, if no-one else cares to: you control the quality of an audio recording (e.g. aac, m4A, mp3, OGG, wma - to name few audio file types) by choosing an audio editng app' (e.g. Audacity, dBPowerAmp, Nero, GoldWave, etc). Once you're app is up and running (and obviously dependent on the capabilities built in to it) you can alter the encoding type (e.g. CBR, VBR, etc) and also choose the frequency for the new recording (e.g. 22KHz).
Well, you either get the point or not .. which is this: if you want to alter sound quality of recorded "digital" sound on your p.c, the only way to do it is by recoding the audio files being worked with.
Back to the main story: any claim that a SATA cable can *somehow* magically alter the quality of audio data (..as if) is the height of absolute baloney.
"...Lies .. damned lies .. and video tape .."
