Digital cable

The Master USB

with EVO Ground Station

Most USB cables are designed for printers and hard drives. The Master USB is designed for music.

8N silver-coated copper conductors, PTFE and polypropylene dielectrics and a triple-layer shield are joined by the integrated EVO Floating Ground Station, which reduces RFI, EMI and digital noise.

Key Performance Characteristics

  • Exceptional Musicality: Unlike typical “analytical” sounding cables, the Master USB focuses on the heart of the performance.
  • Holographic Soundstage: Experience a vast 3D soundscape with precise width, depth, and height.
  • Silent Background: The integrated EVO Ground Station eliminates parasitic noise, revealing nuanced details previously lost to the digital haze.
  • Dynamic Precision: Fast attack with natural sustain and decay; powerful, tight bass paired with shimmering high-frequency extension.

Proprietary Technology & Construction

The Master USB isn’t just a cable; it’s a feat of electrical engineering. We utilize extreme measures to ensure signal integrity and timing:

  • 8N Pure Copper Conductors: We use 99.999999% pure, mono-crystal, oxygen-free copper (OFC) silver-coated conductors for lossless transmission.
  • The EVO Ground Station System: Unique to the Master series, this floating ground system actively reduces RFI/EMI and digital noise, resulting in a jitter-free, neutral presentation.
  • Aerospace-Grade Insulation: Flexible PTFE dielectrics and crush-resistant Polypropylene Polymers protect the conductors while maintaining precise electrical characteristics.
  • Laser-Controlled Geometry: Using High Accuracy Dual Axis Laser Micrometers, we ensure uniform insulation wall thickness. This creates consistent capacitance and impedance across the entire length of the cable.
  • Planetary Cabling: Conductors are twisted using specialized planetary machines to create a perfect helixed unit, cutting down on “jitter” and optimizing both signal and power delivery.

Triple-Shielded Protection

To protect the delicate digital stream from the “noise pollution” of modern homes (WiFi, cell signals, and power cables), the Master USB features a rigorous triple-layer shield:

  1. Full Mylar Silver Shield
  2. Twin Silver-Coated Copper Braided Shields
  3. Anti-Corrosion Secondary Shielding
