Choose Diamond for Ultimate USB Performance with the Latest Devices
AudioQuest Diamond USB A to C cable is the ultimate cable of choice for high speed data connectivity with the latest digital devices. Diamond features Solid 100% Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) Conductors, AudioQuest's Multi-Layer Carbon-Based Noise- and Crosstalk-Dissipation System, and conductors that are controlled for RF noise directionality.
For many applications, the speed of digital communication is important. Most visibly, "speed" is about transferring large files as quickly as possible, or about 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.
Advanced Conductor Materials and Construction Techniques
AudioQuest USB Type-C cables featuring conductor materials and construction techniques that have allowed AQ’s other USB cables to achieve “Best-In-Class” recognition worldwide.
With the newer USB Type-C connector quickly becoming commonplace on many devices, AQ’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.
Solid 100% Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) Conductors
AudioQuest's 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.
Multi-Layer Carbon-Based Noise- and Crosstalk-Dissipation System
This cable's negative conductors are covered with partially conductive Carbon-Loaded Polyethylene. This remarkable material reduces radio-frequency garbage being fed back into the amplifier. The sonic benefit is exactly the same reduction in "hash" and improved dimensionality that comes whenever RF interference is reduced in an audio circuit. In addition, a carbon layer damps interaction between positive and negative conductors, and an external Carbon-Based NDS System reduces external interference.
All Conductors Controlled for RF Noise Directionality
For vanishingly low levels of RF noise, all of Diamond's conductors are directionally controlled.
