What type of cables make the most difference

What type of cables, in your subjective experience, makes the most difference? I’m not focusing on brands, but rather, on type, ie, speaker cables, power cables, analog interconnect, digital interconnect, and anything else I may have omitted. If you don’t think cables beyond a base level of competency makes a difference that’s fine too.

You don’t need anything crazy for a streamer just good filtering. At dac, you want texture, tone, timbre and detail. Anything after that the characteristics start to stretch and are harder to notice. This is where you want soundstage and transparency

In my experience (and I think it's pretty system dependent):

1. USB cleaning, via DDC

2. Interconnects 

3. USB cables

4. Speaker cables

5. Power cables
