USB cable recommendation

I have an Aurender N150 and a Garlubidor Divinity DAC. I'm trying to figure out if my Transparent USB cable is limiting my hardware. I asked AI to make a suggestion, and they recommended a Shunyata Theta, Audioquest Diamond and Audioquest Carbon. Now I guess I'm looking for a human's suggestion.

I'm not a cable denier but believe USB and Ethernet have the least influence on SQ in the chain when compared to analogue interconnects and speaker cables which I believe have the greatest influence.

So I use DH Labs for both. Good quality, fairly priced. YMMV.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY! I went through this whole USB thing a couple months ago. Truthfully I'm not sure why I even decided on a new USB. I guess I wanted to max out my streamer to DAC connection.  I bought an Audience FrontRow USB  and after 500 hours of utter frustration and disappointment I decided to keep my Ansuz X2 USB which with my system works so incredibly well!  And because the Ansuz is so good maybe I'll try a higher tiered Anzus USB.
