You don’t want even a trace of electrical noise potentially covering anything up and compromising the authenticity. Jay Victor has the solution. Jay designed Pangea Audio’s Premier XL MKII USB cable for audiophiles to be ultra-quiet by physically separating the power-carrying conductors from the signal-carrying conductors. Both get their own separate cable leg, meeting only at the USB-A and USB-B connectors at each end. Unlike its predecessor, Premier XL USB, the new MKII version doesn’t use two USB-A connectors on one of the ends, since most audiophiles don’t rely on their USB cable to power their DAC or other gear. One USB connector on each end keeps things neat and simple, while retaining all the advantages of the original XL design. The new Premier XL MKII USB uses USB connectors that are just a bit narrower than the previous XL version, making it even friendlier to use in tight situations. It also features nitrogen-injected foamed PE polyethylene insulation, quad shielding, and a tough woven nylon braided jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmart Products with Strong American-Based Support\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFounded in 2010, Pangea Audio is an American-based company dedicated to providing premium audio products and accessories. Pangea Audio products are currently in use by more than 100,000 audiophiles and music lovers in the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, and dozens of other countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePangea Audio Premier SE MKII cable uses no-compromise Cardas Grade One Copper, which George Cardas of Cardas Audio developed for his own premium cables. George’s copper is mined in Arizona, then shipped to a New England factory where it is very slowly drawn into conductors in a process that includes reduction annealing between steps to further purify and meld the copper into what George calls \"the most amazing audio conductor I have ever experienced. It is quite simply the best copper on the planet.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePremier SE MKII was designed by Jay Victor, one of the biggest behind-the-scenes product designers in the audiophile world and a longstanding expert on cable technology. Jay has the Cardas Grade One Copper wire shipped to a second factory, where the wire is plated with a 6% pure silver coating. \"I have found silver plating is crucial to digital cable performance,\" reports Jay, \"and I use it in all my digital audio designs.\"Premier SE MKII meets HDMI 2.1a certification and is certified for \"High Speed\" applications. The tough nylon braided jacket is both strong and flexible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore Premium Features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePremier XL MKII USB is packed full of premium features. It boasts precision-wound 23-gauge signal conductors using Cardas Grade One Copper plus a 6% pure silver plating. It also features nitrogen-injected foamed PE polyethylene insulation, quad shielding, and a tough woven nylon braided jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's Not Just Zeros and Ones\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe occasionally get questions about USB cables from customers who are getting into digital audio streaming. They wonder why it would be worth investing in an audiophile-grade USB cable when they've been told that all USB cables are created equal as far as digital signals are concerned. \"A USB cable is not just carrying a bunch of zeros and ones,\" explained Jay. \"The cable carries an electrical signal from one circuit to another. Lots of things can interfere with this signal, like radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Anything that affect that signal will cause distortion.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Audio Legend, Jay Victor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCable designer, Jay Victor, has been designing precision audio cables for nearly forty years. Holder of more than 40 patents and trade-marks for cable design, Jay has designed for more than a dozen of the largest companies in the audio industry. \"People have asked me how long it takes to design a really good sounding audio cable,\" reports Jay, \"and I tell them 'forty years' because that's how long it has taken me to come up with my best cable design ideas.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NexaGrip","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68100277469426,"sku":"B0BKH9GQDG","price":227.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0864\/6118\/6290\/files\/613wVaq2BJL._SX522.jpg?v=1793336378","url":"https:\/\/nexagripshop.com\/products\/pangea-audio-premier-xl-mkii-usb-cable-2-0-meter","provider":"NexaGrip","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
