AudioQuest - Carbon USB-A > C 2.5' Digital High-Definition Audio Cable with USB-A to USB-C Connectors - Gray on Black
Customers are saying
Customers are impressed with the audio quality of this product. Users consistently highlight that the sound performance is excellent and of a high standard.
Semi-Solid Concentric 5% Silver Conductors
Semi-Solid Concentric Conductors greatly reduce strand-interaction distortion and silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications like USB audio. An incredibly cost-effective way of manufacturing very high-quality USB cables.
Hard-Cell Foam Insulation
Hard-cell foam insulation is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) neither absorbs nor releases energy from or into the conductor, it causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials, thereby reducing distortion.
Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation
AudioQuests Noise-Dissipation technology significantly reduces the RF Noise that reaches active circuits and causes masking effects.
Direction-Controlled Conductors
A fundamental aspect of AudioQuest's multifaceted Noise-Dissipation technology, Direction-Controlled Conductors ensure induced noise is dissipated and drained properly.

For many applications, the speed of digital communication is important. Most visibly, “speed” is about transferring large files as quickly as possible or carrying enough data for an HD video. For USB audio (and for HDMI audio), “speed” is critical not because of how-much how-fast, but because time relationships within a digital stream are critical to the reconstruction of the analog wave form that brings information, music and joy to our ears. Time-based damage (jitter) to this information within the data package makes the sound small and flat instead of 3D, harsh and foggy instead of smooth and clear.
