Nordost Leif Series Purple Flare USB 2.0 Cable

The Nordost Purple Flare USB 2.0 Cable is the go-to solution for audiophiles looking to connect DACs with micro-B or mini-B inputs. Part of the Leif series, this cable leverages high-grade materials and sophisticated construction to uplift digital sound quality, producing greater clarity, dynamics, and musical coherence compared to standard cables. 

Silver-Plated OFC Precision Conductors for Clean Signal Delivery

At its core are four 28 AWG stranded conductors made from 99.9999% oxygen-free copper and coated with silver. This premium construction ensures minimal resistance and clean high-speed data transmission—vital for preserving the nuances in high-resolution digital audio. 

FEP Insulation with Mechanically Tuned Design for Fast Response

Each conductor is individually extruded with high-performance FEP insulation, then arranged using Nordost’s mechanically tuned, twisted-pair layout. This minimizes dielectric effects and accelerates signal propagation, enhancing timing accuracy and minimizing distortion. 

Double-Shielded Construction for Noise Immunity

The cable features full braid and foil shielding, delivering 100% coverage against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. With this level of protection, your USB signal remains pure—resulting in low noise floors, clearer resolution, and a darker audio background.
