About the cable:

USB - Expression / Emerald MK2 / Our entry-level model, but don’t be fooled!

The sound quality is anything but entry-level .What does MK2 mean for you? Alongside the outstanding sound our cables provide, we’ve taken the BLACK BACKGROUND to the next level. It was already impressive, but now it’s even better, giving you an enhanced listening experience. We also focused on improving stability. As many of you know, high-end USB cables can sometimes cause issues in certain systems. MK2 offers rock-solid reliability!.

• Unique construction using ultra-high-purity oxygen-free copper

• Custom gold-plated plugs: Type A to Type B

But what truly sets us apart is the musicality of our cables. You’ll feel it in every note – a warmth and depth that brings your music to life like never before..

MK2 is available across all our USB cables:

EMERALD

SAPPHIRE

RUBY

When discussing USB audio cables, it often stirs strong emotions and skepticism—how can digital cables affect sound? After all, it’s just ones and zeroes, right?

In many cases with other cables, the differences might be minimal, especially in less resolving systems. However, one of our customers, a recording studio owner in Italy, wrote:

“THIS USB CABLE MADE ME RETHINK DIGITAL CONNECTIONS. DATA IS DATA, BUT DOES OUR HEARING GO BEYOND MATH? YES, IT DOES…”

We’ve invested a significant amount of time and resources into the development of the Expression series cables. Each cable undergoes extensive testing in various systems and environments. We’re proud to offer what we believe to be one of the best USB cables on the market.

From the moment you connect it, you’ll notice the difference in sound. Hiro Furuya, a renowned mastering engineer from Japan who has worked with artists like Eric Clapton, TOTO, Billy Joel, Elton John, and Rod Stewart, cannot imagine working without the Expression EMERALD USB cable in his setup. According to Hiro, our cable delivers a more expansive soundstage, better detail, greater instrument separation, and a more natural timbre—all due to more faithful signal transmission with minimal degradation. This is why digital cables do make a difference.

Similarly, Maor Appelbaum, a famous mastering engineer from L.A. (known for working with Annihilator, Eric Gales, Faith No More, Sabaton, and more), experienced for the first time in his career the positive impact a USB cable can have on sound when using our Expression EMERALD USB cable.

Mastering engineers like Hiro and Maor help produce the music we all listen to, ensuring it sounds its best. We are proud that our USB and other digital and analog cables are a key component in the production chains of such high-quality music.

The word is spreading, and we hope more professionals will try our superior cables to enhance their sound production!

USB cables are one of the most crucial elements in an audio system. They transmit the original source signal, and the purity of that signal is essential to delivering the best possible sound quality. While every component in the system plays a role, ensuring the source is as unpolluted as possible helps achieve optimal performance.
