YB-Y1 HiFi HighQuality, 4N OFC USB2.0 A to B Digital Audio DAC Cable, Professional USB 2.0 Cable, YB-Y1 (1M/3.2ft)

A true audiophile bargain. This cable is so well constructed, it makes most usb cables seem like chintzy toys - even MUCH more expensive ones. Of course, that wouldn’t mean anything if it didn’t also sound fantastic. A huge upgrade over basic usb cables, this baby would be at home in any high end audio system. If you don’t think usb cables make a difference, give this one a try and be convinced - it’s only $30 and you’ve got nothing to lose. Deeper bass, cleaner treble, more depth of image - the list goes on. Unless you need a name brand, save your money, get this usb cable and buy more music with the money you saved. I’ve been in the audio hobby for over 40 years and I’ve never been this happy with such a relatively inexpensive cable. Highly recommended.

Fancy cables are snake oil, but this is too cool for the money to pass up. Add class to your system. I wish it was at least a foot longer.Love it nonetheless.

With this cable, the veil was lifted so far back I can finally hear the visible spectrum of color in music!Full disclosure, I am not one to subscribe to cables making anything sound better. I believe you have good performing cables and you have poor performing cables. If a cable is well designed, you've reached the pinnacle of the cabling and nothing else is gained. Everything else is bling.That being the case, I enjoy a good looking interconnects on good looking equipment, and this cable looks fantastic! The build quality is absolutely premium and it certainly looks like minimal machine use was involved in it's creation. This cable in my setup is being used from my PC to DAC to amp to floor standers in my office. I did not have jitter or interference issues needing cleanup over USB with my previous cheap cheap cable, and that remains the same with this interconnect.Verdict: Nothing more is gained other than getting the quality that you should be in the first place when spending more on a quality audio cable, but sometimes it's nice to have nice looking things. In this case, nice looking and well built doesn't have to hurt your wallet.

Cables can run hundreds of dollars per foot. They exist because without them audio or video signals do not work as needed. This cable looks like the real deal and as such seems like a good value, but sadly the connections do not hold up, I plugged and unplugged this thing about five times before no signal was detected.Not worth the trouble to re-fit, company does not reply to emails. Even Monster cables would be better, while those, also look pro (and aren't) at least they are well made and their basic USB cables will last. Plus they Warranty them.

The media could not be loaded. These are specialty cables with intended purposes. They are very well made. The cables are soft, easy to manage and are mesh sleeved. Ferrite core magnets are encased in brass housing making them heavy. The cable are made to fit snug and secure on both ends, I know so, I already own 2 of the same cable. If you plan on using and connecting this cable with your phone, ipad and or similar lightweights... DO NOT, there’s cables best suited for that. This YB-Y1 cable is best suited for home audio setup and or desktop setup. Because of the added weight from the Ferrite cores and brass housings, good sense of cable management practice is a must.

Love this new USB cable I will admit it is a bit stiff but it works as intended and I have no noise going to my Dac

I purchased this cable as a connection between an Intel NUC running Roon to a Denafrips PONTUS II DAC, and it works great. The cable is very heavy and has a quality build to it with good moldings on each end of the cable, a heavy jacketed sheathing, and two ferrite cores on each end that can be adjusted. I can't say I am such a HiFi nut that I would go spent $1,000 on different USB cables to compare them, but honestly for what this costs - I don't see how you can go wrong. If you are starting out, there is no reason to NOT get this as your first USB cable and then borrow some from your local HiFi club/friends to see if you really need to spend more money. While it's quite possible a $1,000 cable will sound better, I think you are going to need to spend an order of magnitude more than what this cable costs before you hear any difference - and even then it will be minimal depending your signal path.
