It will be different. Different power supply and DAC architectures and different capacitance choices will bring different sound quality！But the difference is not particularly large.

Many things:
- first of all compatibility: MacBookPro / Recent Laptop -> usb-c, Android phone -> usb-c
- small, neat factor
- reversible! side doesn't matter You can plug in your device easier with closed eyes and don't worry
- can provide up to 100 watts of power (enough to power a laptop!)
- it's fast (up to 10 gigabits per second)
- compatibility with other devices older to Type-C ports, even devices that use non-USB technologies, like DisplayPort, VGA and Ethernet
This USB-b is really archaic.
Do you realize none of these apply to a USB 2.0 DAC (except for being reversible)?

Do you realize that we do not need 20 USB-X and worry about types if we have one good?
Apart from being reversible also point 1) and 2) applies

If you are changing/upgrading your desktop DAC, there is a good chance that the previous one has the same USB-B input socket, so if you bought a better USB-B cable for your previous DAC, it's a direct "plug-and-play" at zero cost, isn't it ?
Maybe I'm wrong but the USB-B is mostly used for "data only" while other USB types are used for Data and/or Power. When there are a USB Data socket and a USB power socket on a same device, the Data one has a different shape to differentiate it from the one dedicate to Power, to avoid confusion, It isn't for annoying you or give the device a more archaic look.

You can find 5 meter USB-C data cables but not longer, but they do cost about 15~20% more than equivalent quality USB-B printer cables. .
USB-B printer cables do go as long as 10 meters though I have not found longer.
So horses for courses I guess. If there is a need for more than 5 meters, guess people are out of luck when it comes to USB-C.
The longest USB-C to USB-C I found on Amazon was 3.0 meters, the 5 meter ones were having USB-A on one side, and I guess for those who still have USB-A they'd prefer the cheap and reliably USB-B "printer cables".
Here is a 15m active USB printer cable from Ugreen: https://www.amazon.co.uk/UGREEN-Printer-Scanner-Lexmark-Samsung/dp/B01M19BPB2

Maybe it is time to start a separate thread about USB discussion, guys?

Really like the color of the gray one!
Yes, I hope that luniceaudio won't be present on them. Otherwise they look super nice!

I sent a pm to both of these user accounts after your post and haven't heard anything back yet. Am I doing something wrong?

Same here, I’m all in when we are able to order them in the US.
I reached out via email (to both email addresses) about 20 minutes after Ben posted availability and haven’t heard back via email yet. I’m assuming they are swamped.
