An interesting comparison would be between the various Chord cables: Sarum v Signature v Silver Plus. The Signature won the HiFi News award for best USB in their 2014 test:

But in their conclusion they said that the winner of their 2013 test - the Silver Plus - was 'arguably better integrated still, detailed, insightful and inherently musical'. They gave the Signature and Silver Plus the same score for SQ - 85% - whatever that means. Maybe the Sarum would score 86?
EDIT: you can actually get a Silver Plus free if you take out a subscription to Hi-Fi News
