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?

Do you have any opinions?

There is no shortage of opinion. : )  Is that what you are 'really' looking for, Opinion?  You also qualify on price, despite stating that you are "happy with what [you] have...."

Read up on the various USB threads. Compare different USB cables and at various price points (your system, your ears). Decide for yourself.

Some expensive, exotic USB cables will sound better if you believe they should

["Some"] implies other expensive, exotic USB cables WILL sound better despite belief???  : )

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.  ;)
