AudioQuest Angel Interconnect Cable
Best premium interconnect for audiophiles seeking pristine signal clarity.
The AudioQuest Angel is a premium analog interconnect cable designed for high-fidelity audio systems. It features solid 100% Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) conductors, ensuring excellent signal transmission. The cable utilizes FEP Air-Tube insulation and AudioQuest's proprietary Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) to minimize dielectric distortion. Its construction includes a Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) and an Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry for superior noise rejection. The cable terminates in a gold-plated 3.5mm male mini-plug on one end and a 3.5mm female mini-jack on the other, making it versatile for various audio connections.

Know before you buy
Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) conductors provide an exceptionally smooth and pure surface, which minimizes signal distortion and harshness often associated with lesser metal conductors. This results in a cleaner, more detailed, and more natural audio presentation.
The DBS creates an electrostatic field that saturates and polarizes the cable's insulation before you even start listening. This significantly reduces time-delay distortion, resulting in a quieter background and improved clarity in the high frequencies.
This specific configuration is typically used to extend a connection between portable audio devices, such as high-resolution digital audio players, and external amplifiers or powered speakers that utilize a 3.5mm input.
This system acts as a shield to prevent radio-frequency interference from reaching the signal conductors. By using carbon-loaded layers, it absorbs and dissipates noise rather than reflecting it back into the signal path, ensuring a cleaner sound.
This geometry separates the ground path from the signal path, which helps prevent the ground from being used as an inferior audio conductor. It effectively lowers the noise floor and improves the overall integrity of the audio signal.
