USB Cable Recommendations Under $500

Hello all:

I am searching for a USB-A to USB-B under $500 to connect my Node Icon streamer to my Simaudio integrated amplifier. I have auditioned the SUPRA USB Excalibur Silver Edition and Synergistic Research Foundation SX cables.  Considering the Moon Black or Silver USB cables as well as Audience's Studio Two USB Cable.

I appreciate any recommendations as well as any comments on the cables mentioned above..

Many Thanks!

I replaced a Transparent with a WireWorld Platinum 7, this was a significant upgrade. There are several used options out there that are in your price range.

Always use silver for digital.  I had a AQ Carbon that was very good when I had an Innuos streamer.

If you don't mind used, look for an Inakustik Referenz USB cable. This cable made me a believer that USB cables can make a noticeable difference.

I'm new to digital, I just picked up a Wiim Ultra & a Fosi. Someone suggested a SUPRA USB EXCALIBUR cable.
