iFiOTG C 3.0 Cable/Durable Braided USB C/USB 3.0 Superfast speed/Audiophile Quality OTG

Bought this being somewhat sceptical about USB leads making any difference whatsoever to sound quality.I'd been sceptical for many years after daisy chaining several HDMI leads together when I was landed with an emergency demonstration at the shop I used to work at. This lashup was connected from an AV amp to a projector and saw and heard no difference in comparison to an expensive HDMI cable regularly usedWell I wasn't expecting miracles over the the supplied USB Cable from my iFi Micro DSD Black Label DAC/Headphone amp . HOW WRONG I WAS !The actual lead is very short and is really designed to fit from the phone to a DAC. And in my case it is meant to help facilitate providing a very short connection to allow the handset to be fitted directly onto the back of my DAC and held on by elastic bands, which kind of works. It was presented well packed, feels like decent quality and fits perfectly between my Samsung Galaxy S7 Plus 5G and my ifi Micro DSD Black Label DAC/Headphone amp.But the most unexpected benefit was the jump in the sound quality.There was an overall improvement in clarity for starters. The bass became tighter and more focused, the treble was more detailed and the overall effect was somewhat like having a veil lifted from a window.A lot of people keep on about it being ones and zeros and I was inclined to believe them.My ears are definitely telling me otherwise.Thoroughly recommend.

Cable is pretty but a bit short, and socket coonecter slightly loose but doesn't seem to affect sound quality.

So, I too was sceptical - "it's all Digital, 101101010010101" - so how does a cable make a difference?I really don't know the answer, but even in "blind" back to back tests it really does!Better stereo separation, individual instrument clarity and a sense of more musical presentation.Someone please tell me how to achieves this!

The product looks great, more durable than the ( white) cable I have to use on the lightning products, the sound quality is much better, and when you consider you can buy two of these cables for the price of the other one, it makes you wonder. The length of the lead, if it was longer it would be even better when using my tablet ( just an idea)

I owned one of these cables for 6 years before it started having frequent connection issues. I was torn between ordering a cheaper generic cable or something "audiophile". I don't believe quality digital cables can sound different from each other but cruddy ones can be problematic. I ordered this cable again, despite it costing 3x more than I paid originally, as the cheapest audio orientated cable. There seems to have been improvements and the new cable is a much tighter connection on both ends, with slightly chunkier housing and a thicker but marginally shorter cable. I have still had a few connection problems when a heavy usb cable has pulled the cable down to the side. As the connection is so firm, it seems to be how the plugs are soldered to the cable. It only happens at extremes but I mainly use it in a stationary situation to connect a hifi DAC to my iPad, with no strain on the cable, so it doesn't bode well for using... on the go... I think this cable could be significantly cheaper.

Excellent cable which I use with both my ifi zen sac V2 and also occasionally with my ifi go blue when I am not using the bluetooth adapter. I use it with both my MacBook and iPad and the build quality of the cable is first class. As with all ifi products it is both well made and sounds great.

Whilst a tad expensive this is a good quality cable that does what it is supposed to do!

So I got myself a tonex and when jamming I was getting horrible electrical hiss/ground looping... Even with both my bass pickups being humbuckers.This device got rid of all of it! I was very skeptical to be honest but once attached to my pc and tonex it's was night and day.Worth every penny.
