The cable looks like any "0815" USB cable is not thicker than standard, though flexible, has no ferrites, for whatever reason. In any case, a shielded cable for audio use, so as a port for DACs, network players, etc. Make an audible difference to other cables I could not find (the Musical Fidelity V90-HPA), but one can assume at Inakustik that quality is good (at least my experience so far), and at the price (just under 9 / 1m) to do anyway nothing wrong.
