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?

To those who do not believe a cable makes a difference, I ask you what properties make any component better than another?

Or I ask you to describe the difference you hear between one component and another?

For the engineers I ask how far can you see into an electric current to tell if it is good or not? If you say oscilloscope, then I say look at your zeros and ones and notice if there are 90 degree angles. 

Also Lampizator are great DACs. Maybe not for a system that already has a bunch of tube components, but for a solid state system like mine I like them a lot and I have had more than my fair share of DACs over the years. 
Rob from Lampizator North America is great to work with and he will even see to it that a DAC you order is customized to your specifications too. Plus, what other DAC company will take one of their own as trade at full retail price?
By the way, I am not an engineer, I am a financial planner. So if what I wrote in my previous post is incorrect then I will just instead say that it is my opinion. Also, to those who do not believe cables make a difference stop calling those that can hear the difference foolish. How many fools can go around buying this type of equipment for very long? The answer is none of them. These are by and large very well educated people who have succeeded in life as a result of their intelligence and enjoy their  hobby. If you find pleasure in criticizing others that do enjoy their hobby it means that you need to find a different hobby that brings you happiness and that this is not the right hobby for you. 
The Curious Evolved was the best out of everything I tried which was a lot of cables but nothing insanely expensive. So I wondered why are USB cables so different from one another. Then I read something about USB being inherently flawed in that it was not created for audio. 
So I sold my Aurender N100H and all of my USB cables, except a couple I still need to list for sale. I then purchased an N100C and connected a digital coaxial cable that I have. Sonic Craft made them for me. They use Neotech solid silver cable and Furutech locking RCA connectors having set screws for the wire and shield instead of solder. 
After listening to this new setup I feel like I am in a dream that I am afraid to wake up from. So much more information and fullness and emotion in the music. I am in hifi heaven. So, to me personally, the best USB cable is a digital coaxial cable. 

I think I have figured out why pretty much every thread at some point is interrupted and thrown off track by a snake oil jerk.

It is because snake oil jerks, who have a doctoral degree in electrical engineering and are professor emeritus at an ivy league school and who otherwise are so eminently qualified, feel that it is their civic duty to hijack threads to remind others that digital is only zeros and ones and to let those who think otherwise know they are fools.

Notice to snake-oil jerks: I personally get a rush when I find or try something that helps my system sound even better than what I previously had thought was impossible. So I must ask, do you snake oil jerks go on other types of forums, say religious forums, and tell subscribers they are foolish for worshiping what you believe to be the wrong diety? Or do you leave them in peace and allow them to enjoy what they enjoy?
