Good USB C Cable

I've been using AQ for years.

If you are just trying the DAC out. I would try all the different inputs and see if one stands out. That should give you a sense of whether you want to keep the DAC and its performance level. Since USB vs other digital is typically going to be the biggest difference... because you are comparing very different strengths of streamer and DAC this should tell you what you want to know. I'm guessing the USB is not going to be the strength of this DAC since USB-C is typically portable device. But just a guess. 

A quick blurb on USB-C:

This is the current standard, and it marries power and data delivery with display connectivity. USB-C is what you'll see on most new devices like smartphones, game controllers, earbud cases, microphones, and laptops. Its form factor is small, oblong, and reversible, so it can be plugged in either way (take that, USB-A). The port's 100-watt connection makes it perfectly suited for fast charging and data transfers, even with larger devices.

USB-C can do more than other USB types can, and get it done faster. USB-C has the potential to replace all other cables, thanks to its diverse multi-tasking abilities. It has the ability to power even the most power-hungry devices, like laptops and TVs. It can also transfer 40 gigabits of data per second (Gbps), and can be used to deliver 5K video to external monitors.

My new DAC, Master Fidelity Nadac D will arrive shortly; its input is USB-C.

Kubala Sosna now makes their Realization USB cable terminated in USB -C specifically becauses of this DAC.  I do not think it is just for cheapo stuff!
