QED Performance USB-A to USB-B Cable 3m

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 QE7817

From our tech experts at CEN

The QED Performance QE7817 is the longest USB Type A to USB Type B cable in the Performance range at 3m. It connects a computer to a DAC, printer or other USB-B device when the two are some distance apart.

Who it suits

Choose 3m when the computer and the USB-B device are not on the same desk, for example a PC in a corner feeding a DAC on the hi-fi rack. For desktop setups, the 1.5m QE7814 or 0.75m QE7811 avoids surplus cable.

Our tech experts advise

Plug directly into a port on the computer rather than through a hub, which gives the most dependable connection over a longer run. Route the cable along furniture where it cannot be caught or trodden on. Once connected, select the DAC as the audio output in your computer's sound settings. See more in our QED collection.
