Overview
USB 2.0 high-speed audio cable, USB-A to USB-B (the standard PC-to-DAC convention). 24 AWG OFC copper data pair with a separate 22 AWG power conductor pair; double-shielded (foil + braid) for RFI rejection on long runs.
USB Audio Class 2 carries everything up to PCM 32-bit / 384 kHz and DSD256-over-DoP. For the most demanding desktop systems consider stacking the USB ground-loop isolator between the cable and the DAC.
1.5 m standard length; 3 m available for desktop-PC to rack-mount-DAC distances. Connects desktop DACs and integrated DAC + amps to a host PC or streamer.
