Ferrite Thingy On USB Cord

Cable Asylum

Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

This morning I was looking for my USB cord to connect my PC to my ADL Cruise headphone amp so I could listen to some music while on the computer.

I finally found the cord in the basement, as I was walking past my son's room I noticed his Sony PS3 gaming system. I walked over to it and lo and behold he had the same type of USB cord from the console to the game controller. So, like any good audiophile, I grabbed it and took it upstairs for some quick comparisons.

Well, it was no contest. His PS3 cord sounded more open with better bass than my over priced boutique cord which shall remain nameless so as not to impugn it as a result of one persons experience....... Could it be the ferrite bead thing? I don't know, but I have now permanently swapped my son's cord for mine.

While I am praising this gaming cord, I have to say a few words about the ADL Cruise. The ADL Cruise (Furtech) is a seriously good headphone amp/dac. It holds a charge for 80 hours and fits in the palm of your hand. I bought to take on the road for my job as it made my android phone a viable music source to go along with the Sennheiser Momentum headphones. When connected via USB to a laptop or PC allowing the Cruise's DAC to show its stuff, it takes music to a whole different level. I would describe it's character as full with plenty of meat on the bone. If however, you like a super extended top end this is not the amp/DAC for you. It's not that the top end is missing or anything, but just slightly recessed compared to other more "lit up" amps. I love it because I can listen for 2 or 3 hours with zero fatigue.
