AudioQuest Forest USB A to C Cable (1.5m)

Audioquest's Forest USB cable is a substantial improvement over generic options, priced only a few dollars more. The cable offers a far smoother and richer tonal balance, much greater resolution, and a clearer sonic picture. This is the result of Audioquest's unyielding commitment to quality, as every aspect of the Forest's construction has been scrutinized, auditioned, revised, and perfected.

The secret to the Forest's outstanding performance at a fraction of the cost of most audiophile designs lies in its metallurgy. It uses high-quality Long Grain Copper (LGC) solid-core conductors, which have far fewer imperfections than Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) for lower distortion and greater conductivity. These LGC copper conductors are used in many Audioquest analog cables, providing a far smoother, richer, and more dynamic sound than the inferior materials found in generic USB cables.

LGC's lower distortion characteristics allow the Forest to deliver greater resolution and musical energy with a noticeably lower noise floor. Furthermore, the Forest is a directional cable, as Audioquest listens to every primary signal conductor used to determine the proper conductor orientation, a simple test that yields a surprising improvement in sonic performance.

There are significant, audible differences between USB cables, despite USB being a purportedly purely digital interface. However, the sonic differences are repeatable and consistent from system to system; a better USB cable makes for a better digital audio cable, period.

All Audioquest Indulgence series USB cables, including the Forest, are terminated using Wave Soldering, a high-precision soldering method originally developed for surface-mount applications in the computer industry. Wave Soldering is a fast, efficient, and human-error-free process, ensuring consistent, high-quality terminations.

In summary, the Audioquest Forest USB cable is a significant upgrade over generic options, offering a superior tonal balance, greater resolution, and a cleaner sonic picture. This is achieved through Audioquest's commitment to quality, the use of high-quality LGC conductors, proper conductor orientation, and high-precision Wave Soldering terminations. The resulting performance makes the Forest a compelling choice for audiophiles seeking to elevate their digital audio experience.
