Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables?


Hi All - 

I posted this in the cable section, but thought I’d add it here. Like many of you, I’m always looking to make tweaks over time to improve my system. I’m thinking about purchasing an Innuos Reclocker to work with my existing Innuos ZENith mkiii. 
 

Part of that is obviously adding an additional USB cable. 
 

I read positive comments about the Final Touch Sinope cable. I was wondering if anyone with direct experience with the cable could comment on the qualities of that cable? Alternatively, I’d welcome suggestions on other USB cables you’ve used to up-level your streaming experience. 
 

Thanks in advance!

I've read that 1.5M is the ideal length for a USB cable used for audio.

@sls883  I’m not sure that’s the case with USB.  That was once thought to be the case for SPDIF and AES/EBU digital cables but I’ve since read that as digital has evolved that’s no longer the case and 1m is fine as well.  Maybe an audio engineer will chime in and clarify, but getting a 1m cable can obviously save a lot of $$$ if it can work as well. 

I use this from LavriCables that I think offers high value with 5N silver and physically separate data and power legs for only $150/1m.

They also offer a higher end version with higher gauge 5N silver if you want more and still not horribly priced at $425/1m

I’ve got several of their cables and have been impressed by their quality and performance/$. Best of luck
