Please Recommend Cable Between Innuos Zen Mk 3 and Merason Frerot DAC

I have just upgraded my music streamer and I'm looking for a quality cable to connect the Innuos Zen Mk 3 to my Merason Frerot DAC.  Am I looking for a USB A -> USB B cable or something different ? 

Would something in the $200 - $400 range be sufficient quality ?   Here is my system:

Van Alstine SET 400 Amp

Van Alstine T-10 RB Tube Preamp

Merason Frerot DAC

Salk HT2-TL Speakers

I see Upscale Audio has a one meter long USB A to USB B  cable  it's called "Mirage" made by DH Labs for $260 .

Thoughts and recommendations are appreciated.

this will work just fine, no need to go crazy, spend $ on other parts of the system or on music

My input might need to be discounted as I have an Innuos Pulse to a Schiit Yiggy. However I went from a Cardas Clear to the Wireworld Starlight Platinum 8. It’s above my budget too, but I found a .6 meter used for $275 last year. I think you would really like it , so hunt for a used one. Happy Hunting , Mike B.

Stay basic and if tempted, do an A/B where someone swaps them for you to see if you hear a difference worth the expense.

I ordered a custom length and color cable from Pine Tree Audio to connect my Innuos MK3 to my Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC.  It sounds and looks great.
