Description:
 
This is a reference grade USB cable known for its rich tonal beauty, palpable images and powerful bass. It has a musical and robust sounding nature, with great refinement, liquidity and resolution at the same time.
 
Compared to other USB cables I have used, the images are full and projected into the room with a midrange richness and an uncanny physical presence. Bass is tuneful, textured and explosive - the best I have heard.

It is rarely available used, even less so in Malaysia.
 
Reason for Sale:
 
I have moved to an I2S and ethernet based music streamer.
 
From The Manufacturer:

The Ultra and Gold versions of the cable are hand-build from the wire up. They build on information learned from the original Black Magic USB cable, but add some innovative screening techniques we developed for the loudspeaker cables. Actually the stage 2 screening on these two cables is twice as effective as the speaker cable version, but that is needed as USB cables are real noise generators!
The Ultra version uses PCOCC copper wire – the Gold version uses silver/gold wire. Additionally the gold version has a more extreme (stage 2) mechanical damping system.

Hi Fi Advice
 
“The Black Magic Gold is sweet[er], more liquid, and more refined, making for a sound that is robust and has great tonal beauty but is also fluid, accommodating, and easy to listen to.”
 
“boy, the superiority of the Black Magic Gold is not subtle! The Black Magic Ultra was already beautifully refined, but the Gold adds what feels like infinite resolution. There is simply no edge, hardness, or stepped behaviour. Instead, the sound feels entirely continuous and with delightful delicacy. Yet, the dynamic behaviour of this cable is also remarkable. It has a perfect balance between airy magic and down-to-earth solidity, making it just as refined as exciting.”
 
“With the Black Magic Gold, the background is noticeably blacker and quieter, while dynamic bursts are much more explosive and immediate. In the midst of its powerful delivery, it remains fluid and refined, while resolution and transient behaviour are impressive.”

“The Black Magic ULTRA manages to combine smoothness and liquidity with a toe-tappingly upbeat, lively, and expressive performance to arrive at a cable that threads the perfect middle ground between lushness and precision.”
 
The above refers to the Black Magic Ultra which is a lesser model than the Black Magic Gold
