QUICK AND EASY

For all tests of USB cables, we use a Macbook Pro connected, depending on the test, with a Cambridge Audio Dac Magic Plus, a HRT Music Streamer II and a Rega DAC.

The Test

For this test, Macbook Pro, HRT Music Streamer II and the usual songs played from our iTunes library. The cable of comparison is the usual cheap USB cable bought at a department store length of 3 meters and the cost of 7 €.

The Supra USB2 shows a typical grey / blue coloured sheath that characterizes most of the cables of the house. The USB ports are cheap sealed thermo-plastic type. The hardness of the cable is average but it is not very flexible, and after several curves tends to have a memory effect on folds.

The most prominent difference was detected by listening to some tunes with great extensions in the range. With NA NA'Waltz by Aqua Bassino, the rarefied notes of the piano extend in space and the high range is brilliant, present, and much less digital than the reference cable. The biggest surprise is in the low range, where the particular artificial notes of the bass are deep, round and warm. The horn of Collin Steele is reproduced with the atmosphere of New York nights, just quietly and which gradually expanded across the suburbs. Very realistic then, cold but without the iciness of the reference cable.

Conclusions

In summary a great cable in relation to the low purchase price and that makes you forget almost always to be in the presence of cold digital signals. 5 stars Audiocavi. com
