By using a high-quality USB cable you can vastly improve the quality of your music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtlas' Mavros Grun USB not only offers highly improved conductors and shielding, but it also adds Atlas' proprietary Grun connection for an excellent grounding solution to remove any unwanted noise and interference. The result of this is improved detail and clarity of your music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen upgrading to the Mavros Grun, you will notice more of the original digital audio signal is retained, resulting in your DAC recreating a higher quality musical playback. The higher purity OCC copper improves conductivity for the audio signal being sent from your source to your DAC, while the Teflon dielectric prevents signal loss over the length of the cable. Tied in with Atlas' grun connections, any noise and interference that comes in contact with the cable will be ground away from the audio signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have invested in a high-end digital audio streaming setup, then this Atlas Mavros Grun USB cable can be one of the more dramatic changes to your system that really shows the true potential of digital audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note: Atlas Grun USB Digital Audio Cables are supplied with 1 x Atlas Grun Grounding Cable- 1m length (Female Grun to Female Grun), and 1 x Atlas Grun Grounding Adapter - 0.3m (Male Grun to Spade).
