Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Silver-plated conductors are perfect for very high frequency applications, like audio and video. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. Since the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but at a price much closer to solid copper cable. It is an incredibly cost-effective way of manufacturing very high-quality cables.
Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard Cell Foam insulation is similar to the Foam-PE used in our more affordable Bridges & Falls cables, and is injected with nitrogen to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy back into the conductor, distortion is reduced. Additionally, the stiffness of the material allows the cable’s conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable’s entire length, producing a stable impedance characteristic and further minimizing distortion.

A plus compared to "baseline" USB; downside is the A connector which is not very firm on the terminal block.

Neat cable that provides a better sound signal compared to a standard cable.
