If you are wondering why not just use a generic printer cable for USB Audio, please read this article first.
We have a few grades of USB Audio Cable made of silver gold alloy solid wires:
- AA SG
- AA SiG
- AA SiG Ref
- AA SiG XT
Both AA SG (Silver Gold) and AA SiG (Signature Silver Gold) use silver + 1% gold alloy solid wires but different sizes. The SG uses smaller gauge while SiG uses larger gauge solid wires for data pair. They also use similar high-quality USB plugs with 30µ inch gold plating for reliable contacts.
The SiG family has different grades depending on the materials used for power delivery (VBUS and GND).
The new SG (Silver Gold) USB Cable
AA SG USB Cable is priced reasonably low but performs at higher level than its asking price. By using smaller gauge silver gold wires for data, we are able to reduce the cost without compromising its performance too much. The AA SG USB is suitable for buyers not willing to spend too much but still want good sound from an entry-level USB cable.
The new SiG (Signature Silver Gold) Family USB Cable
It took us 2 years to develop and refine the SiG family. We compared our USB cables with the megabucks USB cables which we borrowed and/or compared in bespoke showrooms. We also received valuable feedback from testers, customers, and reviewers which we took seriously. We experimented with various materials, geometries, shielding techniques, and USB plugs.
The grades of the SiG USB family are as follow, listed from entry-level to flagship:
- AA SiG USB
- AA SiG Ref
- AA SiG XT
SiG USB Cable
This is the entry-level SiG family. It uses UP-OCC copper solid wires for power delivery. Our SiG USB is priced around the most popular / highly recommended mid-priced USB cables but it performs at higher level than its asking price.
SiG Ref USB Cable
The same type of pure silver + 1% gold alloy solid wires used for data pair is also used for power delivery resulting in very low background noise. We develop SiG Ref for systems which are highly resolving and for those who like to hear microdetails / nuances with excellent resolution and control.
SiG XT USB Cable
Using exotic pure silver solid core wires for power delivery resulted in groundbreaking performance within our SiG family. Compared to the SiG Ref USB, the SiG XT USB has full-bodied sound and larger/wider soundstage with ultimate tonal balance and musicality. This is the best-sounding USB audio cable we have developed to date.

The previous AA USB Cable
We will continue selling the previously designed AA USB Cable until we run out of materials. This is an affordable high-performance USB Audio Cable with good musicality. It uses copper and silver alloy, not silver-plated copper, giving a good balance considering advantages and disadvantages of both pure copper and pure silver cables. It has a nice tonal balance with sufficient details and controls.
