Key Features

• Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) Conductors: Solid 100% PSS offers ultra-low distortion and maximum signal fidelity.
• Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation: Minimises energy absorption for tighter bass and sharper transient response.
• Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS): Shields against RF interference, preserving a black background and extended dynamic range.
• Dielectric-Bias System (DBS): Reduces energy storage and non-linear time delay for improved timing and resolution.
• Precision Direct-Silver Plated Terminations: Ensures a low-resistance, low-distortion connection with optimally formulated AQ solder.

Performance and Sound Quality

In critical listening sessions, the Diamond USB cable reveals hidden textures and micro-details, transforming digital files into immersive soundscapes. The combination of PSS conductors and DBS delivers a crystalline midrange with lifelike vocals, while the foamed-polyethylene insulation keeps low frequencies tight and impactful. High frequencies soar with minimal glare, thanks to the cable’s superior damping of RF noise.
