Curious Cables - USB Cable

Image
Introduction Curious Cables is a new Australian audiophile cable company. However, founder Rob Woodland was previously manufacturer of the well known bullet plug, under licence from Keith Eichmann.  The USB cable under review took 12 months of development time and involved extensive experimentation and listening tests. Description The Curious USB Cable is a flexible cable with a large sleeved conductor carrying the USB data lines, while a thin orange cable running externally handles the 5V power line. Construction is strudy and should stand up to trouble free ownership over the long term. Rob has put up a short video that talks about "dimension" Sound Quality This cable needs a fair amount of run-in to sound it's best. I put in approximately 250 hours on this cable, with at least 50 hours of playback time before the cable settled down. To evaluate how the Curious Cable performed over a variety of equipment, I tried it in my main setup connecting my Auralic Aries streamer
