QED Reference High Resolution USB
OverviewThe original QED Reference USB cable was immediately recognised as the outstanding USB cable for audio applications and has been ever since. But ever since the day the Reference USB took home its first Award, QED’s single-minded engineers have been developing this winning formula to deliver an even greater cable. Greater accuracy, greater flexibility, greater compatibility.
The results of this relentless drive for improvement is the ground-breaking and staggeringly effective Reference High-Resolution USB. As the name suggests, this remarkable new cable features complete high-resolution audio compatibility - including, 32bit, DSD and MQA. In addition, QED’s Clear Path Audio technology isolates the power and data lanes within the cable for greater precision in audio transmission, while the Impedance Controlled Data Lane minimises jitter and timing errors.
Greater compatibility, greater accuracy = greater performance, greater sound.
QED’s complete commitment to advancing the art of information transmission, its five decades of technological expertise, and its profound understanding of the requirements and expectations of consumers, all combine to make Reference High-Resolution USB the most effective and efficient USB cable ever made. And, by extension, the best-sounding USB cable ever made. Unstinting attention to detail, brilliantly innovative engineering and a determination to make the company’s trail-blazing technologies available to the widest possible audience, means QED has utterly redefined what listeners can expect from the audio performance of a USB cable.
Focused thinking and painstaking development, leading to unrivalled signal integrity, leading to unsurpassed audio performance. This has been QED’s modus operandi for its entire existence - and Reference High-Resolution USB is the latest demonstration of its peerless mastery of cable design and manufacture.
