Zavfino Majestic USB Cable
I am planning on upgrading my $50 straightwire usb cable to something under $300 and came across the Zavfino Majestic USB. The specs look great but I can’t find any semi-detailed reviews online besides on their website.
Has anyone tried this cable? What are your impressions? Thanks!

The Zavfino and DH Labs look like solid choices, and one being copper and the other silver-plated copper a comparison would be interesting. I’ll throw in the LavriCables Ultimate Silver Dual USB as another option that differs in that, as the name implies, it uses pure 5N silver wire and also because the data and power legs are physically separated rather than running together with shielding. These are impressive features considering the price of only $180 for a 1.5m cable. I’ve got four cables from them and have been thrilled with the sound of each. There’s a house sound that is very balanced, very detailed yet never harsh sounding and very natural, impressive tight and deep bass, excellent tonal properties especially for a silver cable, and outstanding 3D imaging and expansive soundstage where images pop out of a completely clear and transparent space. To me, they exhibit similar properties to my Acoustic Zen Silver Reference ll interconnects if that helps. The bad news is they apparently don’t accept returns as they’re custom made in Latvia, but FWIW I never even considered returning any of my four LavriCables, and there are several seasoned A’goners with very accomplished systems here who’ve also bought various cables from them and to a person have all been as extremely impressed with them as I have — even when comparing to much more expensive cables from much more well-known manufacturers. Yes they’re a bit of a gamble given the return policy but one I think is well worth making given the value, design, quality, and performance on offer. Just another different option to ponder FWIW, and best of luck. |
@macg19 you are correct, the key of USP cable performance is ensure no bit errors. Fundamental frequencies in USB transmission are x480MHz, which is beyond of any sound system BW, but high freq. could affect bad-shielding analog cable signal next to it. Wondering if recommended USB cable replacement passed USB standard required mandatory tests. esthetics, look, and feel, still does play a role in high-end audio device consumer market. |
