USB Cable Audioquest Carbon USB 3.0 A to Micro

For many applications, the speed of digital communication is important. Most obviously, "speed" means transferring large files as quickly as possible or transferring enough data for high-definition video. For USB audio (and for HDMI audio), "speed" is crucial not because of how fast, but because the temporal relationships in the digital stream are crucial to reconstructing the analog waveform that brings information, music, and joy to our ears. The time-damaged (jitter) of this information in the data packet makes the sound small and flat instead of three-dimensional, sharp and hazy, and not smooth and clear.

Solid conductors eliminate distortions arising from the interaction of cores and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are great for high-frequency applications such as HDMI audio and video.These signals of such high frequency propagate almost exclusively over the surface of the conductor. Since the surface is made of high purity silver, the characteristics are very close to those of solid silver cable, but at a price much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost-effective way to produce high-quality HDMI cables.

Solid foam insulation is used exclusively in most AudioQuest video and digital audio cables.As in the case of polyethylene foam, nitrogen is injected into it to create air pockets. "Rigid" foam is used because the rigidity of the material allows the conductors in the cable to maintain the same ratio with each other along the entire length of the cable, thus ensuring the constancy of the characteristic impedance of the cable.

100% screen coverage is easy. An AQ noise reduction system is required to prevent the ground reference point of the equipment from being modulated by captured RF interference.Metal and carbon synthetic materials prevent most radio interference from reaching the grounded surface of the equipment.
