Know before you buy
The Diamond cable is engineered to minimize digital jitter and interference. By utilizing high-purity silver conductors and advanced noise-dissipation technology, it ensures a cleaner, more precise data stream for your DAC, resulting in improved clarity and soundstage depth.
Yes. All conductors in this cable are controlled for RF noise directionality. You should ensure the cable is connected in the direction indicated by the arrows on the connectors to maintain optimal noise rejection.
Yes, this is a USB-C to USB-B cable. It is designed to connect modern devices featuring USB-C ports, such as laptops or tablets, directly to traditional USB-B audio components like external DACs or high-end integrated amplifiers.
The 5% silver-plated conductors are specifically chosen for their superior high-frequency signal transfer. This helps maintain detail and transparency in the upper registers, which is often where standard copper cables can lose resolution.
The 0.75m length is ideal for desktop environments where your source device and DAC are in close proximity. Keeping the cable run short helps minimize the potential for external interference and signal degradation.
