Intona filter shortest USB connection

I just acquired an Intona filter for my USB line.  I want to test connect it from an Innuous Zenith Mk III server to a Lampizator DAC.  My setup already has an ENO ethernet filter connected at the Zen LAN input.  I have a Callisto 1.5m USB cable that is plenty long, so I have no interest in adding any length to the line.  Can anyone recommend a small, solid-quality USB cable or connector that could go from the music server USB output to the Intona filter in the shortest, most efficient way? And is this possibly overkill or even detrimental?  There's no sense in adding yet another filtration to the line signal if isn't needed. Welcome any thoughts!

You seem to be adding quite a bit of filtering to your system. Perhaps you should try listening to see if they add/detract from the sound? Mind you, I own the Innuos Phoenix USB, so I know that these add-ons can improve sound quality, but stacking them might be asking for trouble.
