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).
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.
Connectors used to terminate USB cables are:
1) NEW Standard Type C to
