What is the best USB cable under $500 for a natural presentation and good detail ?
A glass of Chateau La Tour is going to taste differently drank from a china or tin cup, so it is with all cables including USB. If it grates your posterior that people will gladly pay $1000's for wine or cables then either disprove it or move on.  
I was told I2S is a better signal from computer vs USB. assistance in how to
The Sonore Ultra Digital has the ability to match to virtually any DAC including Mola Mola, Denefrips, Holo Audio etc., click on the link.

@peter_s I don't know how true it is but I read years ago that all digital cables should be 1.5m or more, how much more I have no idea. However as far as USB goes lots of them come in a standard size of 1.5m so maybe this is correct.  
I’m looking for an Digital XLR cable
I really don't think Atlas compares to Morrow Audio and considering the OP's system spending more than $500.00 probably isn't going to achieve much in the price to performance stakes. Yeah Morrow Audio great.....lol....Black Friday Sale...come on ...

If you don't want to spend an arm and a leg I can vouch for Atlas Cables AES/EBU from the UK. There are definitely better and more expensive cables out there but unless you can get trials by mail it's very difficult to compare a bunch of digital A...

@audioman58 This cable is fantasic I bought it on a whim several years ago and since then I've compared it to cables 20 times it's price and it's always come through and I'm talking hi-end systems. https://www.eliteaudiouk.com/product-page/diam... 
I2s DSD
@doni The Sonore is a Digital to Digital converter, so if your USB from your streamer or whatever can carry native DSD you can convert it to I2s using the Sonore Ultra Digital. Some DACs will not process native DSD over USB without converting it t... 
Musical yet Detailed DAC Around $700
I highly recommend the TEAC UD 500 series of DACs they all come with a pre-amp and headphone amp. NT 500 series are streamers. They are small form factor and build like a tank. You should be able to get a used UD 503 at a good price. DSD upsamplin... 
I2s DSD
The Sonore will, it seems will send a converted USB DSD signal directly into a I2s DAC, without DOP being involved. https://sonore.us/ultraDigital.html  
I2s DSD
@mahler123 I have been doing plenty of research and I found that native DSD is possible when fed into a Linux DAC, either from a compatible server/streamer or PC/Mac over USB. Now I have Teac DAC that I'm going to test that I believe is compatibl... 
Aurender N20 Music Server Comments and Observations
@jimmy2615 I find your review of the N20 misleading to say the least. The N20 doesn't run hot. Google is your friend! The N20 will output native DSD over USB into a suitable DAC so why convert to PCM? Why use SPDIF when you can use USB or AES EBU?... 
DAC - DCS Bartok or the new Berkeley Alpha DAC 3
@efoo Yes that's correct, no wifi or Roon only hard wired LAN to another Aurender unit.  
Aurender N20 Music Server Comments and Observations
I auditioned Aurender, Auralic, Weiss and Lumin over a two week period at a very knowledgable and understanding dealer. It was evident early on I preferred the Aurender's sonic presentation. Most of my listening was done on an Aurender ACS10 where... 
Mola Mola Tambaqui
Next time I dock my Super Yacht in Cyprus I'll get an audition, FMD.
