@lalitk ​​​​@mclinnguy thanks for the recommendation. 
By the way Audience has two more USB cables up from StudioOne. The FrontRow and FtontRow Reserve silver cable. Those are more in line with FTA Sinope price wise. 

@mclinnguy

The USB cables in discussion are all exemplary and their virtues further revealed in audio system that are capable or equally exemplary. No offense to OP system but Christiaan audio system at Hi Fi Advice is several leagues above OP’s system.

I am very familiar with Audience line of cables due to my long history with the brand. My recommendation would be to try Sinope, whenever you’re ready to step-up.

@lalitk Definitely will give it a try. Had a bit of a chaotic couple of months with selling separates, getting integrated amps and doing a shootout, changing DACs. Settling down gradually. It will be a few months before I get to USB though. Don’t want to make any cable changes until I settle on the next DAC.

@audphile1  

That makes complete sense!  

I completely agree with @lalitk.   
The suggested cables are way over my system level and price range.  
I think I’ll just return the Shunyata and stick with the stock.
