The snake oil of cables
8 Jul 2018
Verified Buyer
I purchased this cable with a great deal of skepticism, after all usb cable is a usb cable .

Having already purchased the supra usb I thought this would offer little more .

I can only relate to my system consisting of a Chord Hugo 2 , Chord Mojo and the Schiit bifrost dac. Running various headphones from Sennheiser and Hifiman .

Running the set up , play a song . Stop and change cable and listen !

The music just has a little more attack , precision and openness . That’s what I hear swapping the system around that’s the same result with this cable .

Truthfully it’s not massive , the supra usb for the money is amazing and if you don’t mind popping a few quid for slight gain here it is .

I found the Chord units more noticeable than the bifrost , why who knows

Fantastic service from Futureshop as always , much appreciated

Fantastic cable

So I never right reviews because I'm to lazy! but had to write one for this cable as there weren't any previously. So my set up is campfire Vegas and chord hugo2, both high end bits of kit. I'd been using a cheap Amazon generic usb into my Hugo from my I phone and as I'd spent a fair bit on my gear I thought I should really upgrade my cable. I was really sceptical about the whole usb cable debates but thought why not give it a try. The price was of course a serious amount of money to spend on a cable that may or may not make any difference to sound quality .. but I have to say that i noticed a massive difference on the first few songs i listened to. Bass tighter, vocals clearer and generally the whole soundstage massively improved. So if your sceptical about high end sub cables and care about getting every last bit out of your system go for it you WILL notice a difference.
