Know before you buy
The TC09BL uses a parallel double-shielding structure that physically separates the power and data lines. This design minimizes electromagnetic interference, resulting in a cleaner signal transmission to your DAC.
The cable utilizes high-purity pure silver Litz for the data transmission to ensure high-speed, accurate signal delivery. The power section uses high-purity oxygen-free copper Litz to maintain stable current flow.
Yes, this cable is designed for devices with a Lightning port. It is specifically intended for connecting your iPhone to an external DAC or amplifier that utilizes a USB-B input.
Separating these paths prevents power-related noise from bleeding into the sensitive digital audio signal. This isolation is a key factor in achieving the lower noise floor and improved clarity audiophiles look for.
The SoftFlex PVC is designed to be both flexible and resilient, allowing for easy cable management without sacrificing protection. It provides a balance between a premium feel and long-term durability for daily use.
