USB Cable Audioquest Carbon USB-A to USB-B

Is digital sound really nothing more than a combination of ones and zeros? We don't think so, and if you get a chance to appreciate the sound provided by CARBON cables with USB connectors, you won't think so either. Solid conductors eliminate the appearance of distortions caused by the interference of cores, and reduce jitter (jitter of the digital signal front). Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for applications with very high frequencies, such as the transmission of audio and video signals through the interface. Signals of such a high frequency almost completely pass over the surface of the conductor. And since the surface is made of high purity silver, the characteristics are very close to the parameters of an all-silver cable at a price only slightly higher than the price of an all-silver one. This is an incredibly cost-effective way to manufacture HDMI cables of very high quality. 

Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually a component of an imperfect electrical circuit. Insulation materials of wires and circuit boards absorb electricity, causing its loss. Some of this energy is stored and then released in the form of distortions. Insulation made of solid high-density polyethylene provides the necessary geometry of the signal pair, and the phase distortions induced by it are minimal. Made with high precision, the silver-plated plugs are carefully connected using the best solder. Having selected soldering flux and soldering metallurgy, AQ specialists optimized the solder to obtain a connection with a low level of distortion. The result of soldering using different solders varies by ear depending on the quality of the connection. Solder from AQ does not contain a lot of silver, because the more of it in the solder, the more difficult it is to get a high-quality connection.

USB standard (Universal Serial BUS) It was introduced by an influential group of companies (among many others, it included Intel, Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft) in order to give the world of personal computers a truly universal standard and means for connecting devices such as hard disk drives, printers, cameras and, more importantly for us, audio components. Its initial description included protocols for uninterrupted transmission of audio data via the USB interface, and the development was carried out at a very high level. As a result, a computer connected to a digital-to-analog converter with a USB port can surpass the audio characteristics of the best CD players today.

AudioQuest considers it its duty to create products that fully support the ability of the USB standard to provide the most up-to-date level of performance at this wonderful new frontier of technology development.
