AudioQuest Pearl – USB A to Micro B 2.0 Cable

Prepare to experience digital audio like never before. Dare to challenge your notions of the conventional with AudioQuest’s championing innovation, the ‘Pearl – USB A to Micro B 2.0 Cable’. Journey back to 1982, a time when “Perfect sound forever” echoed from Sony’s stronghold, and the world nodded with the belief that all digital CDs sound the same. However, time and an audacious pursuit of true quality revealed significant differences between CD players, thus dethroning the so-called gospel truth. Today, with our pioneering AudioQuest Pearl USB Cable, we invite you to challenge the minimalist perspective that all S/PDIF digital audio cables are the same. Are you brave enough to deny that digital audio is merely a binary sequence? With the Pearl USB, we assure you won’t think so. Designed with solid long-grain copper (LGC) conductors that eliminate strand-interaction distortion, there is an audibly smoother, clearer, and cleaner output compared to standard OFHC copper cables. With Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation, optimized AQ solder, and precision gold-plated plugs, the Pearl USB provides supreme, low-distortion connectivity, blowing out the traditional notion of a crude binary audio experience. But, that’s not all – our prowess extends to match the USB specifications defined by giants like Intel, Hewlett-Packard, and Microsoft for the flawless transfer of audio over USB. AudioQuest is fearless in its mission to honor USB’s ability to deliver unmatched performance in this fresh, exciting frontier of digital audio. Brace yourself – the Pearl USB Cable promises an unparalleled voyage into the realm of pure, digital sound. Note, this product’s stock might be limited, please inquire for in-store stock levels.

Features

1. Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors: Unlike regular Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity (OFHC) copper, the Pearl USB features solid LGC conductors which reduce strand-interaction distortion. With fewer oxides impurities and less grain boundaries, the AudioQuest’s cable is proven to offer better performance.
2. Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation: Pearl USB makes use of foamed-Polyethylene as it absorbs minimal energy and presents a low-loss insulation, resulting in minimized audio distortion. The air present within Foamed-PE lessens the blurry audio effect common in other materials, providing a distinctly clear audio output.
3. Precision-Gold Plated Plugs: The Pearl USB cable offers gold-plated plugs, soldered to perfection, to curtail distortion. AQ solder optimizes the quality of the connection and does not have a high silver content, making it easier for the user to secure an excellent connection.
4. Universal Serial Bus Protocol: The Pearl USB cable abides by the established universal protocol defined for audio devices. Enhanced with USB’s ability to seamlessly transfer audio, the combination of computer and a USB-enabled DAC with this cable can surpass performance of even the most advanced compact disc players.
5. Meets Industry Standards: AudioQuest Pearl USB cables have been designed with an understanding and respect for the USB specifications defined by industry tycoons.

Benefits

1. Exceptional Sound Quality: Listening to digital audio in its purest form becomes a reality with Pearl USB. The solid long-grain copper offers a smoother, clearer sound compared to other cables.
2. Minimum Distortion: The focus on high-quality materials and construction ensures a significant reduction in audio distortion, enabling an immersive audio experience.
3. Elevated Audio Experience: The Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation, gold-plated plugs, and the absence of a high silver content in the AQ solder delivers top-class audio, pushing boundaries of conventional listening.
4. Compatibility & Durability: The Pearl USB guarantees compatibility and enhanced performance with numerous audio components as per the Universal Serial Bus Device Class Definition.
5. Unparalleled Performance: The Pearl USB cable challenges the notion that digital audio is restricted to binary audio, transforming the perception of digital sound with its impressive features and benefits.
