AudioQuest Forest USB A To iPod, iPad, iPhone 1.5 Meter Cable - FORESTUSBIPOD1POINT5M

AudioQuest Forest USB A To iPod, iPad, iPhone 1.5 Meter Cable, Model FORESTUSBIPOD1POINT5M

The iPod's® success has had an incredible effect on how we listen to and live with our music. Now the world has shifted to the iPod/iPhone/iPad® becoming a main source component for many. Because of this, AudioQuest has taken everything we've learned about digital interconnects and applied the same technology to our line of made for iPod USB digital interconnects. Listen and hear for yourself!

Features:

• Solid Long-Grain Copper Conductors (LGC)
  Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion. Forest's solid Long-Grain Copper allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. OFHC is a general metal industry specification regarding “loss” without any concern for distortion. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance
• Solid High-Density Polyethylene Insulation
  Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then later released as distortion. Solid High-Density Polyethylene Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry while minimizing insulation-induced phase distortion
• Terminations
  Precision gold-plated plugs are carefully attached with the very best solder. Through choice of flux and metallurgy, AQ solder has been optimized to make a low-distortion connection. The difference you hear between solders is a result of connection quality. AQ solder does not have a high silver content because the more silver there is in solder, the more difficult it is to make a good connection
• USB Device Class Definition For Audio Devices
  USB (Universal Serial BUS) was established by a stalwart group of companies such as Intel, Hewlett-Packard, and Microsoft (just to name a few) in order to give the personal computing world a truly universal standard and means to connect devices such as hard drives, printers, cameras, and, more importantly to us, audio components. Included in the original description are protocols for the pristine transfer of audio over USB. Great care and sensitivity went into this. Consequently, a computer connected to a USB-enabled digital-to-analog converter can outperform the best compact disc players available today. AudioQuest is committed to contributing products that honor USB's ability to deliver state-of-the-art performance on this new and wonderful frontier
