The Chroma 8 USB brings the rewarding sound quality of Uni-Path design down to a price that is only slightly higher than standard cables. Like all Wireworld USB cables, the noise-absorbing power conductor improves sonic purity. This cable also exceeds official USB high speed specifications. Wireworld's Uni-Path design utilizes 4 signal conductors to create 4 efficient paths for electromagnetic energy; twice as many as a conventional USB cable. The Chroma 8 also features Compolisex 3 insulation technology to control electrostatic energy. The plug contacts are made with 24K Gold-Plating for an efficient and effective connection.
