Audio Quest - Diamond - USB-A to C Digital Audio Cable (Single)

AudioQuest's Diamond USB-A-to-C Cables embody all of their core philosophies on cable design. The Diamond USB-A-to-C employs Solid 100% Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) conductors, Hard-Cell Foam Insulation, and precise signal geometry. Specific attention has been paid to maximizing the performance of USB, and indeed, AudioQuest's Diamond USB-A-to-C USB cables push performance to new levels. 

AudioQuest Diamond USB-A-to-C cables featuring conductor materials and construction techniques that have allowed AudioQuest’s other USB cables to achieve “Best-In-Class” recognition worldwide. With the newer USB Type-C connector quickly becoming commonplace on many devices, AudioQuest’s line of Type-C equipped USB cables will allow users to connect with Type-C enabled devices such as MacBook, ChromeBook, Pixel, Galaxy Note 7, etc.

In addition, all of AudioQuest’s USB cables incorporate a newly developed strain-relief system to provide robust durability between the USB cable and plug.

Perfect-Surface Technology applied to extreme-purity silver provides unprecedented clarity and dynamic contrast. Solid conductors prevent strand interaction, a major source of cable distortion. Extremely high-purity Perfect-Surface Silver minimizes distortion caused by the grain boundaries that exist within any metal conductor, nearly eliminating harshness and greatly increasing clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers.

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, “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 waveform that brings information, music and joy to our ears. Time-based damage to this information within the data package makes the sound small and flat instead of 3D; harsh and foggy instead of smooth and clear.
