AudioQuest Coffee USB-A to USB-B Cable
Length
In 1982 Sony gave us "Perfect sound forever," along with the attitude that, "it's just digital, so all CD players sound the same." That was disproved and qualitative differences between players became accepted truth.
Next came separate transport and DAC combos, which brought with it the attitude that "all S/PDIF digital audio cables sound the same..." until that too became disproved. Now the frontier has moved once again. Is digital audio really just ones and zeros?
We don't believe so, and once you've had a chance to listen to Coffee USB, you won't think so either...
The Coffee cables feature the 72V DBS unit, designed to remove harmful RF from interrupting the digital signal between your devices.
The surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. Our favourite cables when used with DAC's are the Coffee USB.
Available Lengths: 0.75m-5m
The USB series of cables from AudioQuest are:
- Forest
- Cinnamon
- Carbon
- Coffee
- Diamond
- Wild
- WEL Signature
Coffee digital cables feature 10% silver with solid copper conductors. A 0.41mm gauge is supported by a hard-cell foam dielectric, a carbon-based multi-layer noise-dissipation Cold-Welded, Hanging Silver Directly Over Pure Red Copper termination. As you move up through the range to WEL signature, the conductors, noise dissipation and shielding all improve to improve clarity through reduced distortion and cross-talk between other cables.
