High quality USB-C to USB-B cable. Does such a thing exist?


Greetings - I would appreciate any recommendations for a high quality 3m USB-C to USB-B cable (preferably under $400).  I’m running Audirvanna Plus (and Tidal) on a late-2016 MacBook Pro (that only has USB-C interfaces) and want to connect to the USB-B port on a Peachtree Nova300.  To-date, all I have been able to locate are $15 cables suitable for connection to a printer...  Although not listed in their catalog, Audioquest makes them up to 1.5m in length (but I need 3m).  Their recommendation was to buy a quality (I’m thinking their Carbon line) 3m USB-A to USB-B cable and then add a $15 USB-A to USB-C adapter.  In my mind, paying nearly $300 for a quality cable and then using a $15 adapter/cable for the last 3” would seem to undermine the technical benefits of the main cable.  I woud appreciate any product recommendations from the community and any feedback on whether my adapter fears are warranted.  Thanks!

Thank you kosst_amojan!  I was unaware of the USB-C specification limitation.  That would certainly explain a lot.  As you suggest, I'll go with a 3m USB-A > USB-B cable and an adapter to connect with my MBP.
