The cable is a type A to B configuration. The G2 cable is an excellent sounding, modestly priced cable that solves many problems related to digital audio. Cost $140 when new. Shiping costs $10 anywhere in CONUS. Several positive reviews online, including this text taken from HiFi Plus magazine:
First, the GT2 cable attacks the most fundamental problems of USB sound: thin, edgy, and occasionally strident-sounding upper mids and highs. With the GT2 cable in play, these “sins of omission” are mitigated or tempered to a point where the overall sound becomes noticeably smoother and more enjoyable to hear. Even with the GT2 cable in use, one could argue that S/PDIF interfaces still sound better, but the key point is that GT2 cable helps narrow the perceived gap between USB and S/PDIF performance. Forward progress is a good thing.
Interestingly, the GT2 cable does not appear to function as any sort of “filter”—at least not in the sense that it removes unpleasant sonic artifacts, but at the expense of lost musical information. On the contrary, musical information is left intact, while subtle, low-level details seem to be transmitted more effectively than before, which brings me to the second point I want to mention.
With the GT2 cable in play, low-level details, such as subtle ambience or reverberation cues within the music, become easier to hear and more smoothly integrated with the musical whole. Since we are, after all, talking about digital and not analog signals, I cannot explain how or why this happens on a technical level, but it is nevertheless a sonic outcome I have observed. The result is that the system sounds noticeably more nuanced and also more three-dimensional, with more effective rendering of soundstaging cues in the music and a more refined ability to capture the sense of air surrounding instruments and voices.
