I have not had any luck with low end Shunyata cords. I have not extensively tested different ones. But the lower tiers were no better than stock or basic. I’m sure upper tier are great.

Not sure if it’s been already asked, what brand of cables you’re using in rest of the system?

More specifically, DAC ➡️ Pre ➡️ Amp ➡️ Spealers and Power Cords. 

Mostly high level Morrow interconnects, Audioquest power chords, Robin Hood speaker cables.

@rvpiano  If you still want to try a good USB cable and not pay a ton of money for it, DH Labs Mirage is very good. Upscale carries the line so that’s a risk free trial with their return policy. I used this cable and liked it. It’s worth comparing to stock USB to see if you like it better. DH Labs cables are great value for the money.

You seem to like AQ cables, why not try one of their USB’s like Coffee,
