Comparing Valhalla 2 USB 2.0 Cable to Other USB Cables

The Nordost Valhalla 2 USB 2.0 Cable offers several distinct advantages over standard USB cables:

  • Superior Conductivity: While most USB cables use basic copper conductors, the Valhalla 2 employs silver-plated conductors, which offer better conductivity and signal transfer, resulting in a clearer and more detailed sound.
  • Advanced Air Dielectric Design: The Dual Mono-Filament technology minimizes signal loss and capacitance, ensuring a faster and more accurate data transfer compared to conventional USB cables.
  • Precision Engineering: Nordost’s meticulous construction and attention to detail ensure that the Valhalla 2 USB 2.0 Cable delivers consistent, high-quality performance, making it an essential component for any high-fidelity digital audio system.

The Nordost Valhalla 2 USB 2.0 Cable is the ultimate choice for audiophiles and professionals who demand the highest level of performance from their digital audio systems. With its advanced technology, premium materials, and superior craftsmanship, this cable ensures that your digital audio signals are transmitted with unmatched clarity, accuracy, and speed.

By investing in the Valhalla 2 USB 2.0 Cable, you are ensuring that every nuance and detail of your digital music is preserved, allowing you to experience your favorite recordings with a new level of realism and emotion. Whether you’re streaming high-resolution audio files, using a USB DAC, or working in a professional studio environment, the Nordost Valhalla 2 USB 2.0 Cable provides a transformative upgrade that brings out the best in your digital audio system.

The Valhalla 2 USB 2.0 is revolutionary in terms of USB cable design. For the first time, Nordost is introducing a flat, twin-axial geometry to its USB cables. This innovative layout allows the two signal wires to run parallel, compared to the standard twisted-pair configuration, shortening the signal path and drastically increasing transfer speeds. Another advantage to a twin-axial design is the ability to separate the power (positive) and ground (negative) legs of the cable, isolating them from signal and each other, minimizing the effects of harmful interference. The Valhalla 2 USB 2.0 then goes one step further, taking the precaution of isolating the signal conductors, by covering each power leg with a finely-braided, silver shield, as well as enclosing both signal conductors in their own braided, silver shields. Each shield is connected to the metal plated backshell, completely ridding the cable of any EMI or RFI and eliminating noise.

In addition to these advances, the Valhalla 2 USB 2.0 still uses all of the main technologies and design structures that Nordost has built its reputation upon. The V2 USB 2.0 is constructed using four, 19 AWG solid core, silver-plated copper conductors. Each conductor, both power and signal, is suspended in Nordost’s proprietary Dual Mono-Filament technology, increasing the dielectric and mechanical damping, while maintaining the overall flexibility of the cable. It also takes advantage of Nordost’s unique, mechanically tuned lengths, reducing internal microphonics and high-frequency impedance resonance.

Of course, as with all of our Valhalla 2 cables, the V2 USB is completed with a HOLO:PLUG® connector. Nordost purpose-built this fully shielded, low mass USB connector to ensure that there is no loss of signal transfer from the cable to the connectors themselves. The Valhalla 2 USB 2.0 is the only solution on the market capable of elevating digital streaming, attaining true, reference-quality results.
