For many applications, the speed of digital communication is important. The most visible is 'speed' when it comes to transferring large files as quickly as possible or transporting enough data for HD video. For USB audio (and for HDMI audio), 'speed' is crucial not because of the 'how-fast', but because the temporal relationships within a digital data stream are critical to reconstructing the analog waveform that brings information, music and joy to our ears. Temporal damage (jitter) of this information within the data packet makes the sound small and flat instead of 3D, rough and foggy instead of smooth and clear. AudioQuest USB Type-C cables feature conductor materials and construction techniques that have helped AQ's other USB cables win a worldwide 'Best in Class' award. With the newer USB Type-C connector, which quickly becomes commonplace on many devices, AQ's line of Type-C equipped USB cables allows users to connect to Type-C enabled devices such as MacBook, ChromeBook, Pixel, Galaxy Note 7, etc. In addition, ALL AudioQuest USB cables are equipped with a newly developed strain relief system to ensure robust durability between USB cable and plug. Solid 5% silver conductor. Solid conductors prevent distortion caused by interaction of the strands and reduce jitter. Solid silver plated conductors are ideal for high frequency digital audio and video applications. These high-frequency signals move almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor during transmission. As this is made of high-purity silver, the reproduction is very close to that of a solid silver cable, while the price is closer to that of a solid copper cable. This is a surprisingly cost-effective method, qualitati
