Review on 🎧 High-performance AudioQuest Forest USB A to USB B Cable - Extended length of 4.92 ft. (1.5m) by Briceston Criss

Revainrating 5 out of 5

In the A/B test I did not notice any difference to my printer cable.

I bought this to check the weather, the "chic" digital connection cable improves my hi-fi system. It's not like this. My system is a KEF LS50, Rega Brio 3, an OSX device streaming TIDAL through a Musical Fidelity V90 DAC. My system is very well tuned and I can detect very subtle sound differences when testing components. For example, switching from Chord Chrimson Plus RCA (best analog hifi connection of 2011) to Audio Quest Big Sur brought a slight improvement in bass control for my relatively weak Rega Brio 3). To my ears, the Audioquest digital connection didn't improve anything compared to the printer cable. Please note that I have tested the cable with CD quality signals, not higher resolutions such as DSD, Super Audio CD etc. I will revise this list as appropriate.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • there are disadvantages
