Where to buy Supra

Supra USB v3.2 digital audio cable

The latest Supra USB cable is fitted with a USB Type C connector at one end and a choice of connectors at the other (such as Type C as well as the older Type A or Type B connectors).

For information on the older Supra v2.0 USB cables - see here

As such, it is designed to act as a digital audio cable, between a computer/streamer and a D-to-A convertor (a "DAC"), carrying audio signals from the former.

In this way, you can play your music stored on your computer or mobile phone/tablet or media player, via your hi-fi system (if the aforementioned DAC is connected to an audio input of your stereo system).


Supra USB C-C cable

Shown above is: USB Type C-Type C cable (factory terminated)
Type A-C and Type C-C are available NOW.
Type C-B - due in late 2024


Standard Features:

High Performance, High Speed - Uses a flexible cable with dual screens for the best RF pick-up protection.

One twisted pair for data and one twisted pair for power, with individual screens for minimal cross-channel interference.

Low capacitance and efficient noise rejection maintain signal integrity in long run interconnects.

PE-insulated wires with correct 90 Ohms impedance design.

24K gold plated and shielded connectors.

The connectors are moulded to withstand tough applications and long term use.

Maximum Data Transfer Rate: 480 Mbits/second (as per USB 2.0 specifications).

Please note:
While USB 2.0 and 3.0 are physically and electrically compatible, USB 3.0 is a dual-link system that is not currently used for USB Audio.
