QED Performance USB-A to USB-B Cable 1.5m

USB has become one of the most popular ways to connect computers, streamers and music servers to DACs. Simple in theory, until you start looking at cable specifications, data rates, shielding, certification logos and forum debates that somehow turn a straightforward connection into a weekend project.

Performance USB is designed to remove the guesswork. Built specifically for digital audio, it combines USB-IF High Speed® certification, individually screened oxygen-free copper conductors and a low-loss cable design that's optimised for high-resolution audio playback.

Whether you're connecting a laptop, music server, streamer or DAC, Performance USB gives you the confidence that you've got this connection right. Because your USB cable shouldn't become the most complicated component in your system.

About the QED QE7814

From our tech experts at CEN

The QED Performance QE7814 is the 1.5m length of QED's USB Type A to USB Type B cable for audio and data. It links a computer with a standard USB-A port to a device with a USB-B socket, such as a desktop DAC.

Who it suits

Pick 1.5m for a typical desk where the computer sits under or beside the desk and the DAC on top. For a DAC right next to a laptop, the 0.75m QE7811 is tidier, and the 3m QE7817 suits a computer further from the hi-fi.

Our tech experts advise

Confirm your DAC or device uses a square USB-B socket rather than USB-C. Connect directly to a port on the computer instead of through a hub, then choose the DAC as the sound output. Route the cable so it is not pulled when you move the computer or chair. Browse our QED collection.
