USB Cable Recommendations Under $500

Hello all:

I am searching for a USB-A to USB-B under $500 to connect my Node Icon streamer to my Simaudio integrated amplifier. I have auditioned the SUPRA USB Excalibur Silver Edition and Synergistic Research Foundation SX cables.  Considering the Moon Black or Silver USB cables as well as Audience's Studio Two USB Cable.

I appreciate any recommendations as well as any comments on the cables mentioned above..

Many Thanks!

Always use silver for digital.  I had a AQ Carbon that was very good when I had an Innuos streamer.

If you don't mind used, look for an Inakustik Referenz USB cable. This cable made me a believer that USB cables can make a noticeable difference.

I'm new to digital, I just picked up a Wiim Ultra & a Fosi. Someone suggested a SUPRA USB EXCALIBUR cable.

Thank you all for some great recommendations.  I plan to audition the DH Labs Silversonic, Audience Studio Two, LavriCable, and the AQ Coffee cables and will see keep the one that works best with system. Will update in a few weeks with the results.
