Know before you buy
This cable features a standard USB-A connector on one end and a Mini-USB connector on the other. It is designed for older DACs, digital audio interfaces, or portable players that utilize the Mini-USB port standard.
Silver is an exceptionally conductive material, which allows for higher bandwidth and faster signal transmission compared to standard copper. In high-resolution audio setups, this can result in a more detailed, accurate, and transparent sound profile.
The cable uses a silver-plated braided shield to block electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. This helps prevent noise and jitter from entering your digital signal path, ensuring a cleaner, more stable connection between your source and your DAC.
The Kimber Kable Mini Bus Ag is specifically manufactured in a 1.0-meter length. This length is generally considered the sweet spot for digital audio cables to maintain signal integrity while offering enough flexibility for most desktop or rack setups.
The high-density polyethylene dielectric acts as an insulator around the conductors. It is crucial for maintaining consistent impedance and protecting the signal from degradation, which helps preserve the integrity of your digital data stream.
