USB cable opinions


I’m considering the following USB cables to be used in a high end digital setup. Antipodes server to Bricasti dac. USB cables new to me. Current candidates:
AQ Diamond
Audience AU 24SE+
Purist Ultimate 
Transparent 

Any real world opinions would be appreciated.

I'm also in the middle of a USB cable comparison.

My system is quite different than yours, and my preferences / priorities may be different than yours, so who knows....

Here is a rough draft take from my comparison, which is still a work in progress. 

"The Purist and Audience are close cousins in performance similarities. Both are a bit fuller, rounder, darker, than the Wireworld. I'd also label both as being slightly more 'traditionally' musical and emotionally engaging than the WW.

On the spectrum, the Audience would sit between the two.

The Purist is mid-range centric and it's strength is voice.

The Audience splits more of the differences between the two and is slightly less than...on the strengths of the Purist...and slightly less than on the strengths of the WW." 

(The WW is the 7 Platinum Starlight, which in this first round was the overall winner for my system and needs).

What I can say is, that in my system, I preferred the Audience Au24 SE+ over the Purist Ultimate by a small margin.

Both cables are good and I can see why someone would choose one over the other.

I'm not evaluating the other two cables you list.
If you try a Purist USB cable it needs to be the 30th Anniversary not the Ultimate.

Audience +1. I prefer it over WW and a few other brands that I tried on my system. 
Antipodes DX Gen 2 here and using Totaldac USB Cable/filter into W4S Recovery with outboard LPS then Curious Link into Metrum Pavane Level 3.  Sound good to me but l haven't used the other cables being discussed here.  The Totaldac USB is preferred over a full Curious Cable USB set-up for being a little more accurate and resolving without losing tone and musicality.
