Audioquest DC cables - why are there almost no high end DC cables?


Hi everyone,

I noticed it's very difficult to get high end dc cables.

Why is that?

Surely a lot of components use DC connections: LPS, DAC/Streamers, HDD's, Switches.

I have been reading that a good DC cable need 2 things:

1. Geometry: starquad
2. Thick awg (12?)

Now I want have a DC cable made with audioquest wiring. These tick the above two requirements.

Can I use AQ type 4, CV4 or Rocket33 to make a DC cable?

The plug I will be using is Oyaide. Oyaide has high quality DC plugs in 2.1 and 2.5.

Ideas?

richardhk - take a look a Ghent cables - they are making up star-quad DC cables for reasonable prices

star-quad alters the inductance to act as an inductor (choke, ferrite beads) and reduce RF noise injection to the DAC

An LPS is not a bad idea either
