JDS Labs USB-C Cable

JDS Labs USB-C to USB-C cable for DACs

This USB Type-C cable was designed by JDS Labs for high-performance USB DACs. It connects a DAC with a USB-C port to a computer or mobile device that also has a USB-C port: PC, Mac, Linux machine or Android device. It is the ideal cable for connecting the Atom DAC 2 to a recent machine.

Built for audio

The cable uses enamelled wires and a braided nylon jacket, which stands up to daily use better than a standard plastic jacket. A TDK ferrite core rejects high-frequency noise and improves jitter performance.

Its modest length of around 1 m is enough to connect a desktop DAC to the computer without excess cable lying around.

Type-C to Type-C

Both ends are USB-C, so this cable suits recent computers and devices with USB-C ports. If your computer only has USB-A ports, use a USB-A to USB-C cable instead.

Which way round

Note: the current version of this cable has a red connector at one end. Connect the red end to your audio source and the black end to your DAC.
