It's digital, any old usb lead will do.

Unless of course you have 'Golden Ears'. In which case...

If it works, it's all good. A bad cable would cause crackling or drop-outs.

None of the usual suspects seems to have them for sale.

I like it. Nice a thick so really annoys some people

It's got silver in it to. Don't forget to get an Intona and a reclocker to put in the chain. I will get my hat and run..........................

There is an argument for using the thinnest crappiest USB cable you can find as the extra capacitance may attenuate any noise, if present, may be attenuated. USB cables as thick as your arm may not be a good idea.

This one (used chez moi) claims to be USB 2.0 certified and has ferrite chokes to tame common-mode RF interference: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008VOPCGY/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21.

Listen & enjoy.
I would say asking on here is pretty pointless.
Try a few for yourself and if you can't hear any difference buy the cheapest one.
I don't recommend exotic audiophile versions. Some of them are so exotic they don't meet spec.
Ditto some of the cheapo "clam-shell" packed versions at your local store.
Blue Jeans do meet spec, and they will manufacture to order. Not insanely expensive.
Supra are also well made quality cables for a reasonable amount.

Seconded. Fully certified and foo free! Zero need for anything else. Rob Watts who knows a thing or two about digital also favours foo free usb cables. Good enough for me
