DJ TechTools Chroma Cables: Audio Optimized 1.5M USB-C to USB-B Cable with 56K Resistor (Blue, 1.5m)

We know in theory USB should work or not work. However, we also know that not all USB cables are made the same. I wanted to be sure I was getting a well enough made cable to serve a particular purpose of connect a computer to a powered speaker that has its own DAC. The goal was to avoid some potential noise. I cannot say if this works well or not via some sort of measurement. What I can say however is that once put to use, the 96/24 DAC works well and the sound is very very clean. I can compare to higher end audio systems in output. As I know this does work and seems to do a good job, I would simply say I would buy it again because I have a very positive experience with it. The value of the 56k resister is not without merit as well and I believe it is part of the reason my digital music sounds quite good. Mac <---USB cable ----> Peachtree M24 speaker with 96/24 DAC I'll simply add that of all the types of cables I have had for various needs, it is usually the ends that are the problems. Male and female ends can be cheap, poorly holding cable internally and more. This cable seems to be made quite well overall and I believe it should last me for a long time as both ends are solidly crafted.

Decent cable just what I needed. Not crazy but the color but it's not seen. Good for the money, sound quality seems fine so far.

DJTechTools makes the best, most high quality and robust DJ accessories. Here again they deliver. This is simple the only USB-A cable you need to have. It has a perfect length, is very durable, and is never finicky on the connectivity.

UPDATE: Coming back say these are the best cables out for anything DJ or Audio! After over a year with them I’ve had ZERO dropouts or connectivity issues. I’ve had to let colleagues use my cables when there cheaper ones wouldn’t connect to the mixer/controller. I love the color options because it makes it easy to distinguish my cable when plugging in/out between DJs. Works as intended and then some. If a USB cable is provided for me I switch to these. I only trust these cables. The included Velcro allows for easy storage and the connectors are very snug. Perfect for anything DJ or audio related. No dropouts and very durable. I use these 3-4 times a week to DJ

Today I learned that not all audio cables are created equal. Up until this point I had been using your normal, everyday USB-C to USB-B cable for connecting my MacBook Pro to my JDS Labs EL AMP/DAC audio stack. At no point had I ever considered the differences between specially designed audio cables and those made for simply transferring data. Then I got my first Chroma cable and everything changed. What's so special about it? It's just a cable, right? Chroma cables are not your standard cables. These cables are audio optimized for home and professional use where impeccable audio is a must. Trust me here, there is an audible difference between a Chroma cable and your bog standard USB-C to USB-B cable. Each of these cables are fitted with a 56k Ohm pull-up resistor to ensure that your audio and MIDI devices have a reliable connection and that none of them are overdrawing power. Noise filtering and the elimination of signal dropouts along the entire signal path is accomplished via dual ferrite core chokes and fully braided shielding. Finally, high-quality, durable connectors on both ends ensure an extra long cable life. Sure, I could have paid $2 for a normal audio/data cable, and I'm sure most folks would be just fine with that. However, if you're an audiophile, and you can actually tell the difference between lossy 320 kbps encoded audio files and lossless 1,412 kbps FLAC audio files, well, then this is the cable for you.

Seems to work with good audio! Originally received the incorrect cable, they sent me the correct one with expedited shipping. Great customer service!

Yes, it's expense for what it is. The search for a cable to connect my USB turntable with a built-in pre-amp to my Sonos Era 100 led me this page and it worked perfectly. There was no need to configure anything and I'm able to listen to my record collection with my entire Sonos system: Arc, Arc Ultra, Era 100, Era 300, and Play One. Ten speakers in total and no need for amps, bridges, or line out adapters. The cable can remain connected when the turntable is not in use and streaming works fine. You could probably go with another brand for half the price to do the same thing. Personally, I'll be keeping it.

Excellent 100%

I’m happy! A quality product!
