AudioQuest
AudioQuest Angel Interconnect Cable
Best premium extension for audiophiles seeking uncompromising signal clarity and detail.
The AudioQuest Angel is a premium analog interconnect designed for uncompromising audio performance. It features solid 100% Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) conductors for exceptional clarity and dynamic contrast, minimizing distortion. The cable utilizes FEP Air-Tube insulation to absorb minimal energy, and the Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) organizes insulation molecules to reduce signal delay and distortion. A Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) prevents captured RF interference from affecting the ground reference. This specific model is a 5.0-meter cable with a 3.5mm female connector on one end and a 3.5mm male connector on the other, offering a richer and more dynamic audio experience.

Know before you buy
This cable features a male-to-female termination, making it ideal for extending an existing 3.5mm connection, such as connecting a high-end portable player to an external amplifier or headphone setup.
Silver is a highly conductive material that minimizes signal loss. The 'Perfect-Surface' process ensures the conductor is exceptionally smooth, which reduces harshness and distortion often found in standard copper cables.
The DBS creates a stable electrostatic field that organizes the cable's insulation molecules. This process significantly reduces signal delay and time-smear, resulting in a cleaner, more detailed sound.
AudioQuest uses a 3-layer Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) specifically to prevent RF interference from affecting the signal over longer runs. This ensures that the audio remains clear and free of background noise even at this length.
This design separates the ground path from the signal path, which helps prevent the ground from being used as an inferior audio conductor. It results in a quieter background and a more dynamic, richer soundstage.
The DBS system is powered by a small battery pack integrated into the cable. You will occasionally need to replace the batteries to maintain the electrostatic field, though they typically last for several years of normal use.
