Haven't tested yet myself but am also very curious as to what everyone is using/has tested. I myself have my eyes on the Audioquest and Nordost USB cables (they've recently released the Heimdall 2 USB cable BTW). Also interesting to me are the iFi Audio Micro iUSBPower product (http://ifi-audio.com/portfolio-view/micro-iusbpower/) as it can isolate grounds and provide clean USB power and their Gemini 'two headed' USB cable which splits power and signal (http://ifi-audio.com/portfolio-view/accessory-gemini/).
Does anyone yet if the Devialet's USB input needs the power pins connected?
(PS: I checked USB2.0 cannot yet be galvanically isolated in full there are simply no devices/chipsets etc. available for that purpose. The ethernet input of the Devialet is isolated by the TDK chip on the board)
