This on usb cables

I have simplified my system to

Intel nuc running Roon Rock
All CD's on nas drive
Benchmark dac connected to nuc via usb. 

The benchmark came with a USB cable that I am using,  I am looking for comments on usb cables that might improve sound quality.   I am happy with what I have and have only seen the $500 usb cables as an alternative which I think is too high for what I have.   

Do you have any opinions?

Read: some that you believe should sound better will indeed sound better.

No it is not.  He might believe that "some" expensive cables would sound better, but would not necessarily believe that all expensive cables would sound better.  Logic is a tricky thing.  ;)

It is. Especially when one leads with a belief system and simultaneously speaks of / for another's future experience.

@kuttler  Borrow some USB cables from your friends or dealers or the lending library that The Cable Co. offers. Conduct the comparisons for yourself. There are a number of strong performers out there...read the various threads to lock into one or more.
