Good cost effective USB cables for digital audio please


Hello all, I am going to be trying a new streamer that has a USB digital output to drive my DAC, and would like some user recommendations and suggestions on cost effective (say, under $300, less even better) USB A-B cables. It was interesting to see the Absolute Sound having a $25 Belkin gold USB cable on their recommended list for some time HA!!

I’ve been using RCA digital 75 ohm cables (Canare) for some time and know that an ideal length is roughly 1.5 meters for good signal transfer.

Does this apply to USB cables carrying the digital signal to the DAC as well?

@barts For USB I'd recommend no longer than 2M, but it's not as meticulous as it is with coax/75ohm cables that work best exactly at 1.5M. Anything from .5M-2M should work optimally. Longer isn't horrible either.

Check out LavriCable.  I’ve got several of their cables in my HeadFi rig and have been very impressed with their sound for the price.  Best of luck.
