"we in the audio world are so attuned to the ‘large, heavy thing sounds better’ hypnotic suggestion that we might overlook what looks like USB dongles as just another accessory. Audio enthusiasts would sing their praises if they were made in a rack mount (and cost five times as much)." Alan Sircom - Editor, hi-fi+

CAD USB Filter Reviewed by the editor of Hi-Fi+, Alan Sircom:

"You can use it with anything from a giveaway USB cable to the most exotic cables you can think of. It will help, often in major ways"

CAD’s latest in-line USB Filter delivers more than a taste of what its high-end USB II-R cable can deliver, and can upgrade even the cheapest USB cable. Alan Sircom investigates.
