Cardas Audio Clear High Speed USB Cable 1m (Used)
Condition: Mint With Packaging & Certificate (9/10)
Price: RM 1,900
Contact: Cheah, +60122010263
Description:
Cardas’ flagship USB cable from the famed Clear series. Like the Clear interconnects and speaker cables, it is highly resolving giving a transparent, clear and open presentation but retaining musicality and warmth. Highs are clear and extended but smooth and sweet at the same time. Bass is exemplary – low, tight and impactful.
Compared to other digital cables I have used, it is a very natural sounding cable. Images are specific and palpable with the Cardas signature midrange magic and inner vocal detail. Layering of instruments in space - with immense microdetail - is the best I have heard. The sense of scale is also impressive. Sound staging draws you into the space of the musical event, extending well beyond the speaker boundaries, both laterally and depth wise. Musical flow is excellent.
Reason for Sale:
I have moved to an I2S based transport.

“The new Clear HS (High Speed) USB brings many of the benefits of the ‘standard’ Clear USB and brings them to the upper-tier of modern digital audio.”
“the Cardas Clear HS USB manages to deliver a fine combination of honesty and integrity to the sound, without the artificial bloom of bass-heaviness or shrill treble commonly encountered in USB audio. The consistency of the original is fully retained, too, but now with added mid-bass punch and mid-range detail. However, if anything, the intensity of that mid-bass punch makes the original cable sound at once more taut and more dynamically uncontrolled; the first hit like a middle-weight, this new one has a touch of the Bruce Lee about its mid-bass. It’s faster and just as impactful.”
" The big change here is the expansion to the soundstage, in depth, width and even – if your system can muster it – height. The soundstage size is increased, yes, but the big difference is in the quality and solidity of that soundstage, taking on a greater sense of realism in the process. As befits the name, this is a very clear sounding cable”
“It’s worth restating the sense of calm, balance and order Clear HS USB brings to what can be the chaotic world of USB audio. Like many Cardas cables, it doesn’t shout, either about itself or the equipment to which it is connected….. It’s the one for that person who has done with the fireworks and just wants to hear music sounding easy and coherent, with good staging and not much in the way of shouting or foot-stamping… unless the music calls for it.”
“There’s an easy and pithy way of summing up the Cardas Audio Clear HS USB: twice the cable, four times the quality! Clear doesn’t exaggerate or amplify parts of the musical whole, it just plays it with honesty and accuracy… and the HS USB makes more sense of music than most as a result.”
