The Signature Tuned ARAY USB cable is a perfect example. Yes the choice of USB cable is critical, especially if you are listening to FLAC, WAV or higher resolution music (actually even MP3 gains a sense of rightness).

Signature Digital Super ARAY USB

Chord’s first venture into USB cables was a consequence of having musicians working at the Chord Company. After copying a CD master recording to a laptop, Chord was shocked at the poor performance of the burned copies when compared to the original master CD.

At the time Chord were using one of the first DACs with a USB input, so they played the master from the laptop. Still not good but better than the burned CD version. After using better spec ripping programs and playback management, Chord thankfully got big improvements to the burned CD.

Whilst Chord was happy that they could produce a pretty decent CD copy from the original master, the laptop copy of the master (sent to the DAC via its USB input) sounded clearly worse than the CD copy being fed to the same DAC – so Chord investigated the construction of the USB cable between laptop and DAC.

The original Signature USB featured four separately shielded conductors. Chord have now refined the effective gauge of the silver-plated copper conductors and uprated the insulation to a high-speed PE/LDPE/PE composite dielectric. The earth shielding connection is further protected from high frequency noise with its own foil tape layer. The ARAY technology has been uprated from Tuned ARAY to Super ARAY using a Signature USB specific ARAY design. Chord have incorporated refinements with both USB A and B plugs. All connections are soldered, and the USB plugs are ChorAlloy™ plated to Chord’s specification in the UK. Chord believes these changes have all contributed to a healthy improvement in performance. It is certainly a little harder (therefore longer) to build, so while the price has crept up from the original Signature USB, Chord feels it more than justifies the effort when you audition it against the original design.

There are many high-performance storage and streaming devices available and the new Signature Super ARAY USB is an obvious choice to try with these. Also worth trying between your PC/tablet and DAC, particularly if it’s full of decent rips of your own CD collection, high quality downloads or is being used for streaming hi-def music like Tidal etc.

If possible, avoid the use of Micro USB adaptors with any of Chord’s USB cables, but if you have a high-spec DAC with only a micro-USB input then it is still worth auditioning a good USB cable with an adaptor.
