Extra Info:  

This superb USB cable is new in box with all packaging and outer protective sleeve for the box. The Continental 5S is constructed with Oyaides characteristic fanatical attention to quality of both components and finish. I an using a pair of Acoustic Revive USB instead as it went well with the other Acoustic Revive USB I am using. I have attached a couple of reviews of this cable below along with detailed photographs.

Dave Clark from Positive Feedback

"The Oyaide Continental 5S USB is a well balanced and highly musical USB cable where nothing jumps out at you. Neither lean nor mean tonally, though slightly on the richer side harmonically (warmer than colder and heavier than lighter), I like this cable a lot. It has caused quite a stir here when in use… it really makes the music flow stirring not only emotions, but one's feet. It also reminds me of the Furutech USB cable causing me to wonder if there is a house sound to cables from Japan; that being: articulate, orderly, honest, and polite in the sense of never being annoying or rude musically (now there is a new term musically rude—dibs!). It is perhaps not as dark as the Furutech, though on its own I would never have characterized the Furutech as dark—just perhaps slightly darker than the rest but only when compared directly to the other USB cables here in the house. Simply put, the Oyaide Continental does it all quite well. It is well built and possesses an outward beauty—clearly reflective of Oyaide's products—that is quite pleasing to the eye. The Continental is constructed of silk filaments and sterling 5N silver conductors, all combined with an eye towards addressing noise, while mitigating vibrations and maximizing signal transfer. Oyaide's fanatic attention to detail, where nothing is left to chance as evident in their uncompromising approach to the cable's construction, has clearly resulted in the cable being a musical winner. "

Six Moons Audio Review

"First to be noticed was the gold finish of the standard A and B type connectors. This came from the outer plating of the rhodium connectors which in turn cover silver atop the core brass. 5S is a reference to the 5N silver used for the signal wires. These are 1.05mm in diameter and slow-drawn to minimize mechanical stress. Just like the 102 SCC wires, the silver wires here are drawn through diamond dies to achieve the smoothest mirror surface possible. For the USB power line, Oyaide use PCOCC-A copper. Where most even high-end USB cables just twist power and signal leads to prevent noise infiltration, the Continental 5S individually shields its leads with a copper foil. Atop that comes a second shield of aluminium foil and finally a third shield made of braided silver-plated copper. The latter can be seen through the transparent polyethylene sheath. Wait, we almost forgot the silk threads between the wires which prevent unwanted electrical storage."
