iFi Audio – USB 3.0 OTG cable

Description

It’s no secret that the quality of a cable is an essential component for faithful, detailed and enjoyable listening.

The quality of a USB cord is all the more important, since the current passing through it to power a device or carry information is a veritable magnet for EMI and RF interference.

A USB OTG cable is a gateway between a smartphone or Android tablet, enabling dialogue between the two devices (information goes up and down, from the source to the DAC and vice versa). 

To date, few manufacturers offer quality USB OTG cables that guarantee optimal listening to your source, even on the move. And to date, no manufacturer offers a quality USB OTG cable for USB 3.0.

Available in USB Micro and USB Type-C

The new standard is currently the USB Type-C port, and will be our best friend for years to come:

• It is reversible
• It’s small (same size as a USB Micro)
• It is robust
• Up to 100W of current (compared with 4.5W for USB3.0)
• It is already compatible with the future USB3.1 standard, enabling speeds of up to 10 Gbps.
• Backward compatible with USB3.0 and USB2.0

 When it comes to audio and music playback, a connector offering so many functions needs to be pampered to the utmost! It’s a pity, and even detrimental to good listening, to couple such an efficient USB port with an inferior cord…

iFi Audio now offers its USB OTG connector, available in USB-C or the old USB Micro format.

One USB A Female connector at source

The female USB 3.0 type A connector offers ease of use, as well as the most reliable mechanical connection quality to date. A factor that, unfortunately, too few DAC manufacturers take into account.

The USB A Female connector connects directly to our top-performing nomad DACs (all Qobuzissime), with no need for extension cables or interfaces: iDSD Nano Black Label, iDSD Micro Black Labeland the new xDSD.

A quality driver for flawless playback!

 Our Audiophile-quality USB OTG cables are made of pure OHFC copper, for the cleanest possible transmission of music from your smartphone to your DAC!
