What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems?

I am looking for a highly rated USB cable that stands head and shoulders above the rest. Is there such a cable?

Exact 90ohm impedance and length of cable both matter greatly for sound quality

Add an Intona USB Isolator for galvanic isolation and save lots of money compared to exotic cables.

Oyaide Continental 5S, a pure silver cable. This in turn is again bettered by 2. Intona USB Reference. Over several other pure silver and other costly experiments, the Intona in terms of noise floor, Impulse and reverb and transparency and tone is top of class.
