Recommended USB Cables.

At present I have the Acoustic BBQ USB Cable connected from my Silent Angel Rhein Z1 V2 streamer to the PS Audio DS DAC. Incredible cable at a very reasonable price. Very detailed, transparent and great sound at low volume levels. Which ones are considered the top USB cables?  Any experience comparing the Acoustic BBQ to other USB? I’m very aware that all cables are system dependent!!!

I have been exploring this further and at its relatively modest retail price, I am a huge advocate of the Clarus Crimson USB.  I am quite surprised at the clarity and detail I am getting without a hint of coloration.  It is my preferred USB at this time.

I am currently using an Audioquest Diamond to connect a Chord 2Go/2Yu to my Weiss DAC.  I was pleasantly surprised at how good it sounds.  Improved clarity but difficult to describe beyond that it in that it seems to have no discernable coloration on my sound.  

I just compared this to a Kimber Select AG I had in on trade and thought they were similar in terms of quality.  Again, very clear with great detail but not coloration.  

I also had a customer just buy a Shunyata Omega and he said it was like he bought a whole new component it had such a big positive impact on his system.  I have not heard this personally though.
