SR Atmosphere SX Reference USB

WHAT IT IS:

The Atmosphere SX Reference USB is the top of SR's made-to-order USB line. Synergistic Research says that compared with its earlier award-winning Galileo LE USB, the Atmosphere SX design sounds more natural, with a more realistic holographic soundscape and better dynamics, at a fifth of the price.

HOW IT WORKS:

According to Synergistic Research:

• UEF Graphene shielding with a direct-to-ground connection, for a much lower noise floor than a shield that isn't grounded directly.
• Level 4 UEF Matrix Shield, the highest Atmosphere SX level.
• Gold and Silver Tuning Modules included, so you can voice the cable: Gold for musicality and liquid smoothness, Silver for more air and detail.
• A conditioning process first developed for SR's Blue fuses, for faster, more even burn-in and higher performance.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Conductors: 4 copper matrix conductors, 23 gauge solid copper
• Dielectric: solid polyethylene
• Contacts: 24K gold-plated
• Shielding: dual silver Mylar/braid shield, Atmosphere SX Level 4 UEF Matrix Shield with Graphene
• Treatment: SRX three-stage 1,000,000-volt Quantum Treatment, UEF Blue Fuse conditioning
• Termination: UEF Ground Plane
• Includes: Galileo SX Gold and Silver Tuning Modules
• Burn-in: 5 days, two-step process
• Lengths: 1, 2, 3 or 5 meters
• Ends: USB-A or USB-C (computer side); USB-B, USB-C, Micro-USB or USB 3.0 Type-B (DAC side)
