Analogue cables, yes, they make a huge difference.
Digital cables. Not so much. As long as the cables meet the digital specifications, be it to toslink, usb, fibre, ethernet, it won't make any difference.
Now, there are crap usb cables, poorly made and cheap garbage. Those will fail, and I have seen that. $20-30 is what I would pay for a decent cable. Put the money into the interconnects from the DAC to the pre-amp.
