Cables for Aurender N150

I’ve had my Aurender N150 for 6 months and have been using an AudioQuest Carbon USB cable and a Shunyata Taipan power cable that I had available.  I’ve really enjoyed the N150. Have Aurender owners found benefit in going farther upscale for USB and power cables?  
 

For the non-Aurender people out there, the N150 is the current bottom of Aurender models .  I’ve had excellent success when upgrading other components’ cables but you can hit that point where you don’t need Ferrari tires on a Honda.

I use a Zavfino USB but my only comparison is the stock/cheap USB that came with my DAC, but, they make great cables at very competitive prices. Construction appears similar to DH Labs.

Having said that, I was recently challenged by an AG thread about ethernet cables -  I was convinced there would be no difference between my $20 blue jeans cable and something more expensive. I compared a Pangea SE premier and an AQ Cinnamon to my $20 cable. 

Much to my chagrin the AQ made a significant sonic improvement over the others so I kept it (for now).

Based on this thread, I just ordered a DH Labs Reunion ethernet - if it bests the AQ I may try their USB.
