I have been looking into getting a slightly longer USB cable than came with my audioengine D1, but the seemingly high-quality Chinese cable I have just plain doesn't work. Like at all. So I am looking into getting a 1m or 1.5m quality USB A to B cable so that i can move the A1 from sitting on my computer to sitting on my desk. I am looking to spend less than $100.
I am seriously considering this cable:

and also this cable:

which i can get the 1.8m length for less than the Pangea cable.
there are also these:

http://www.thecableco.com/Product/Ultraviolet--USB-A-to-B-
http://www.thecableco.com/Product/SilverSonic-USB
however, these appear to be cheaper, and may lack proper shielding.
Audioquest also makes a couple that would fit in the price range, but for some reason i am not really interested in their cables.

another option would be to build it myself.
I may already have some good silver plated copper wire, but would want to purchase the connectors, shielding, and hopefully some decent-looking sleeve for it as well.
