QED Performance USB-A to USB-C Cable 0.6m

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 QE7821

From our tech experts at CEN

The QED Performance QE7821 is a 0.6m USB Type A to USB Type C cable for audio and data. It connects a device with a standard USB-A port to one with a USB-C socket, and is the shorter of the two USB-A to USB-C lengths in the QED Performance range.

Who it suits

The 0.6m length suits short desk connections, such as a computer USB-A port to a USB-C DAC or portable player sitting right beside it, where a longer lead would just coil up. If the devices are further apart, the 1.2m QE7824 gives more reach.

Our tech experts advise

Check which end each device needs: USB-A is the larger rectangular plug, USB-C the small oval one. Plug straight into the computer rather than a hub for the steadiest connection. Avoid sharp bends at the plug when the device sits close by. See the range in our QED collection.
