WIN! A fantastic Computer Audio Design USB Filter worth £750 must be won!

We have partnered with our friends at Computer Audio Design to offer you an exciting competition for a chance to win a USB Filter valued at £750.

Alan Sircom reviewed the USB Filter in issue #240 (page 87). He wrote, “The CAD USB Filter does not undermine the value of a high-performance USB cable; it complements it.”

He added, “The exact nature of the filtration remains a secret, but the CAD USB Filter is designed to reduce high frequency noise on the four conductors within any USB cable: the signal, ground, and power rail. The latter is particularly problematic; USB sends 5V to power (or charge) connected devices. The USB Filter introduces an additional buffer between that noise source and your USB receiver.

He concluded the review by saying, “I tested it on every USB cable I could find, and it functioned effectively on all of them! Already quick-sounding USB cables acquire a slightly ‘crisper’ and ‘livelier’ quality; expansive cables gain additional dynamic range and scale, while those cables excelling in enhancing a soundstage suddenly uncover even more potential. “Many have already selected their‘forever cable’ in USB; not all will have chosen CAD’s design. However, regardless of the brand, the CAD USB Filter will bring out the best in that cable.”
