I agree not to rely others opinions not even mine. Having said that I know what I would do is keep what I have and approach my sound system the same way you're approaching your house hunting. You have no idea what type of house you'll end up with ... 
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
It's safe to assume little andy2 can't produce any measurements to back up his claim. Probably because all the measurements he's scoured the internet looking at show no difference between cheap cables and expensive. Keep trying little andy2 you mi...

Ok. No measurements. I never claimed to be an engineer. You didn't stipulate in the original post your offer was only to EE's.

I’m assuming English is your second language so I’m being patient. Noise can leach in through poor connections, connectors, ground problems, wired wrong, the USB hub but the wires themselves just carry the noise. I am assuming you’re going to use ...

Measurements?  
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
In the first place I never said USB cables create noise. RF noise can leach in through connectors. Are you ever going to offer any measurements? That is I will supply all the measurementyou want, can you tell me which is a better product?

That is I will supply all the measurementyou want, can you tell me which is a better product?If there is a difference in distortion and the only thing changed is a cable then the cable contributed to the distortion.

I assume no measurements are forthcoming? 
best-sounding class D amp?
I’ve only heard NCore based amps NAD and Purifi based VTV , hey both sounded very good but in my subjective opinion I liked the Purifi based. I believe Nord, March, Apollon make these. The one I would really like to hear is the new NAD M33 based o... 
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
I am no expert by a long shot but I can look at 2 different plots and see the difference. No specific cable was mentioned to compare so I just picked speaker cables since it’s easier to use something like REW to take measurements of in room speake...

Where's the measurements? You said you would provide them, how about it, you can show everyone I have no clue.  
Step-up from Node2i for native AmazonHD streaming?
I believe the Anthems AVR has Amazon.https://www.anthemav.com/products-current/model=avm-60/page=overview 
Educate me on music streamers, please.
If you use Roon you can assemble a fanless NUC and connect it to you ayre codex by USB or use a raspberry pi4 roon bridge to connect to the codex and put the NUC elsewhere.

You realize that even the inductance vs. freq. of an actual inductor is not flat, don’t you? Now being a cable with distributive characteristic, I am not sure how it will be flat. Same for capacitance and resistance. They won’t be flat.Measuring t...
