This is a question along the lines of "how long is a piece of string?".

How do we define "high quality USB Cable"?

I have seen "audiophile USB Cables which are any funloving impedance other than 90 Ohm and unlikely anywhere near the seam along any section of the length.

Such a cable would likely be a much worse option than the supplied USB 3 Cable. Other audiophile USB Cables are quite well made and should work at least as well, or better.

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to intolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
