USB has error checking (there are checksums on every USB packet).

Isochronous USB has no error recovery (so if that packet arrives with a mangled checksum, you have a data dropout).

However, cables are the least of your worries; it's the driver stack (USB, ethernet, whatever) and the audio software feeding it that are the main sources of error. Unfortunately for Monster (et al) it is far harder for them to sell a $5,000 piece of software that does nothing than it is for them to sell a $5K piece of snake-oil-class hardware; the software is objectively analyzable without expensive tools, for instance.
