The Silver Starlight® USB audio cable is intended for the most discerning listeners and advanced audio systems, where its ability to reveal the natural timbre of acoustic instruments and voices is invaluable. The Silver Starlight® employs the WireWorld's new, patent-pending DNA Helix™ conductor design, which uses six signal conductors – twice as many as other USB cables.
The Silver Starlight® USB audio cable is intended for the most discerning listeners and advanced audio systems, where its ability to reveal the natural timbre of acoustic instruments and voices is invaluable. The Silver Starlight® employs the WireWorld's new, patent-pending DNA Helix™ conductor design, which uses six signal conductors – twice as many as other USB cables.
Wireworld USB audio cables utilize unique new designs that minimize jitter by providing sharper waveforms than the standard USB cable design. They provide the least jitter available at each price level, producing distinct improvements in tone quality, clarity, image focus, smoothness and dynamic range. All Wireworld USB cables feature proprietary DNA Helix® or Symmetricon® design geometry.
Wireworld's improved USB audio cables recently earned the TAS Golden Ear and Digital Audio Cable of the Year awards on the Platinum Starlight.
There is a fundamental difference between the transfer of computer data and digital audio signals. Computers are able to transfer digital data without loss, because the data moves in the robust form of blocks, which do not depend on specific timing between the sending and receiving devices. However, digital audio signals are continuous streams of data, which are quite fragile, since the digital processor must remain perfectly locked onto the timing of the signal to avoid data losses.
The Limitations of digital audio processors and cables create timing errors known as jitter, which remove portions of the audio signal and replace them with noise and distortion. Cables tend to round off the square waveforms of the signal, making them less clear to the processor, thus increasing jitter. This rounding effect varies greatly among cables and a truly superior digital audio cable can make great improvements in sound quality.
With the unique invention of the DNA Helix design, Wireworld has created a more efficient channel for electromagnetic energy, thereby preserving more of the delicate information that creates higher fidelity.
WireWorld USB cables feature a unique flat design that allows it to function over significantly longer runs than conventional USB cables and provides improved sound quality in media server, PC audio, and other digital music applications.
A perfect cable would transfer musical waveforms without changing or losing any information along the way. Achieving this level of perfection is WireWorld's goal. With the release of Series 7, they will also introduce Waveform Fidelity graphs showing how Wireworld cables outperform all others.
Wireworld Cable Technology, based in the USA, is a globally recognised provider of high-quality cables and interconnects. Founded in 1992 by David Salz, the company has committed itself to improving the enjoyment of music and movies by creating cables that minimise signal loss and preserve waveform integrity.
Wireworld's innovative approach to cable design has led to numerous patented technologies that have redefined performance standards in the industry. From HDMI, USB, Ethernet, and power conditioning cords to an array of audio cables, Wireworld offers a comprehensive product range that caters to every conceivable need in audio and video systems.
Each Wireworld cable is meticulously engineered, with unique design features such as the DNA Helix conductor geometry and the Symmetricon HDMI design. The application of such breakthrough technologies has enabled Wireworld to produce cables that provide the closest approach to a direct connection.
Central to Wireworld's philosophy is an unyielding commitment to testing and evaluation. Utilising a proprietary cable comparator, the company continually refines its products, aiming for sonic neutrality and replicating the original waveform.
Wireworld's commitment to quality and performance has garnered global acclaim, with its products frequently featured in prestigious audio and home theatre publications. Their steadfast dedication to enhancing the consumer audio-video experience makes Wireworld Cable Technology a preferred choice for audiophiles, music lovers, and movie enthusiasts worldwide.
