Audioquest Diamond USB Type A to Type B Cable 1.5 m

The Audioquest USB Cables are ideal for connecting your digital sources and offer unprecendented levels of audio performance. 

This is a fantastic USB cable that is priced affordably for the next owner to enjoy. Incredible sound quality. 

This cable had VERY light usage and is in outstanding condition. Battery 
pack is the 72V DBS. I do not have the original box to go with it (Girlfriend accidentally threw it out).  The cable went from the box straight into my system. I live in a no smoking, no pets, no kids, home. 

AudioQuest Diamond USB Cable

Crystal Clear and Gorgeously Nuanced

Audioquest's USB Diamond is perhaps the finest USB Cable on the market, offering sonic
performance second to none. Like Audioquest's other pure silver digital cables,
Diamond USB delivers unmatched purity of tone, outstanding dynamic
shading and a breathtaking level of resolution. Audioquest's proprietary DBS
system keeps the noise floor low and distortion to a minimum. Every aspect of Diamond's
construction from the type of connectors used to the direction of the
conductors has been scrutinized, auditioned, revised and perfected to create a
cable that offers world beating performance.

"In a very short demo...the
difference in transparency and color was striking."

– Jason Victor Serinus, Stereophile

Metallurgy

Diamond features 100% pure Perfect Surface Silver solid-core
conductors. These ultra-pure, ultra-smooth conductors are simply unparalleled
at conveying the breath, life and speed of music. Diamond is a
directional cable, AQ listens to every primary signal conductor used in Diamond
to determine proper conductor orientation, this simple test yields a
surprising improvement to sonic performance.

Digital Audio over USB

There are significant, audible
differences between USB cables. We're not sure how this is possible, since USB
is purported to be a purely digital interface, however, the sonic differences
are repeatable and consistent from system to system. A better USB cable makes a
better digital audio cable, period.

Termination

All Audioquest Indulgence series
USB Cables are terminated by Wave Solder, a very high-precision
soldering method originally developed for surface-mount applications in the
computer industry. Wave Soldering is fast, efficient and has no human
interaction, eliminating all conventional solder problems, creating a
strong, reliable and electrically consistent connection. Wave Soldering is
just one feature that makes Indulgence Series USB cables a far better choice
than conventional USB Cables.

"...the presentation became
gentler and smoother. The treble, in particular, was revelatory. Thanks to the
elimination of hardness and glare, I could listen at higher volumes without the
sound bothering my ears. The presentation became more musically vivid without
becoming more sonically vivid -- a rare feat that I greatly value."

Sound

Digital Audio Cable of the Year 

"High-performance digital
audio cables are inherently controversial; some objectivists argue that digital
audio cables cannot possibly affect sound, while observational listeners often
confidently insist well-designed digital audio cables can and sometimes do make
for readily apparent and high beneficial sonic differences. We at Hi-Fi+ side
with those who think cables make a difference and AudioQuest's terrific
flagship Diamond USB cable makes a perfect case in point. Diamond USB features
solid perfect-surface silver conductors, foamed polyethylene dielectrics, a
three-layer carbon-based noise dissipation system, and AQ's signature 72V DBS
(dielectric bias system). The result is an audibly superior USB cable that
offers exceptional retrieval of low-level details and three-dimensional
soundstage cues in the music, which also conveys a heightened-indeed, almost
'sculptural' - sense of rock-solid imaging. In short, Diamond USB fosters what
one staff member termed, "a whole different level of vital connection to
hte music"." HiFi+ (131) - January Awards 2016.
