Higher End USB Cables

Anyone tried/compared the newer high-end USB Cables (i.e. Locus Design Polestar or Ridgestreet model)? Curious if they're worth the $300+ price tag, particularly since Locus doesn't offer demo or return policy (can't speak to Ridgestreet). I do know there's differences in the cheap throw-away ones, much like different USB ports on the same computer.

Anyone have an opinion on the Audio Quest Diamond USB cable?
They are really expensive, but the performance is exceptional to my ears!

I have enjoyed Wy-Wires for years. You can spend a little or a lot. Depends on your budget. I personaly like the "Diamond" series.

I found the (Shunyata Labs), "Venom", USB cable to very nice. I also have a (Pangea Audio), "Premier XL", USB with the separate leads for power and signal right behind the Venom! And the Pangea was quite cheap!
