Hi,
looking for excellent sounding USB-C to USB-C cables which are available in a length of 5 feet or longer.
Any recommendations?
Thanks

I suspect the demand for such an item would be so small that it would not be economically viable to produce.

There are devices like MacBook Pro which offer only USB-C outputs. On the other side newer DACs with USB3.1 interfaces offer USB-C inputs so such cables make sense.

What is the audio use case here?

The confusion of connectors/standards that are combining Thunderbolt and USB 3.1 Gen 2 (lol) into a single cable that is already being replaced. Combined with manufacturers being well aware how short lived and narrowly implemented USB C (in all versions and Generations) in its current form is and will remain. Resulted in a very small amount of cables being made in typical lengths. Much less in longer x' runs.
