QED Performance USB-A to USB-C Cable 1.2m

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 QE7824

From our tech experts at CEN

The QED Performance QE7824 is the 1.2m length of QED's USB Type A to USB Type C cable for audio and data. It links a USB-A port on a computer or other host to a USB-C device, such as a DAC or portable player.

Who it suits

Pick 1.2m when the USB-C device sits on the desk and the computer is beside or under it, or when you want to use a portable device while it stays connected. For a device right next to the computer, the 0.6m QE7821 is tidier. If both ends are USB-C, look at the QED Performance USB-C to USB-C cables.

Our tech experts advise

Connect directly to the computer rather than through a hub. Leave a little slack so the USB-C plug is not levered when the device is moved. Once connected, select the device as the audio output in your sound settings. Browse our QED collection.
