This is for a dual headed USB cable with gold-plated plugs. It's probably not broken in that well, as mfg recommends 150 hours. I got this cable to run from laptop into DAC. While I remember the sound quality was excellent, I frankly never really got into computer based digital for regular listening. [I've been playing vinyl all morning

Bought new, direct from mfg for $160. Selling for $69. PayPal only.The description below is from the original A-gon listing. Although the purchase price was based on one (1) meter length (3.3 ft) at the time, the mfg made me a 4+ ft length (50 in.) for my application.
• Pure silver 1m (3.3ft) long USB A-B shielded cable.
• Gold plated USB A & B pins (4 of them on each side), perfect length for laptop/ desktop & DAC connection.
• Double shielding via aluminum foil and copper to prevent any noise.
• 5 strands braided construction (1 empty) for stiffness and high frequency noises reduction.
• 4 x 28AWG (0.33mm) solid silver 99.999+% wires in oversized PTFE Teflon insulation.
• Woven Teflon Litz construction is ideal to deliver RFI and EMI rejection and provides low capacitance.
• 99.999+% silver transmits electrical signals faster and with less distortion than ordinary OFC wires.
• High grade Teflon insulation gives a predominant air dielectric and is regarded as the best insulator for bare cable.
