high end USB cables - A to A connectors


Been enjoying the world of digital audio in my home office. I am using a Macbook Pro running iTunes, a Dared MP-5 hybrid amp with internal DAC, and John Blue JB3 speakers. (I’ve tried a bunch of different tubes in the Dared. Currently I have a pair of vintage Sonotone West Germany 12AT7 tubes, and a Webcor EM87.)

Been reading posts on the advantages of high end USB cables, and I am willing to make the leap, but the problem is all the high end cables seem to have USB A to USB B connections (or USB A to USB mini B). I need a cable with A to A connectors. I can’t seem to find any of the recommended brands with these connectors.

Anyone have any suggestions?

"Thinking" is a relative term! All I can think is that Dared was going after the lowest common denominator, and USB A-A cables are abundant. And maybe a USB A port is cheaper? On the other hand, a similar product from Glow Audio also has a USB A connection. So who knows?
Riffer:

An extension cable has a male connector on one end, a female connector on the other. I need a cable with a male USB A connector on each end.
