【AT-RX97EX (1.3 m) | USB Cable for Car Audio】

Even though you enjoy music via USB connection, you may want a bit more detail and clearer sound. That’s where audio-technica Rexat AT-RX97EX (1.3 m) is worth considering.

For the power line, it uses a triple hybrid conductor combining PC-Triple C, 6N-OFC, and OFC. The signal line also uses a hybrid conductor made from PC-Triple C and 6N-OFC, aiming to extract as much information from the audio source as possible through a USB connection.

You may notice finer changes even in the songs you listen to every day—such as clearer sound contours and better-organized spatial relationships between vocals and instruments. In particular, it’s a cable well worth trying if you’re thinking about stepping up from a factory USB connection or a standard cable, or if you want to enjoy high-resolution audio in your car.

The hybrid insulation system that combines the HiVibrer and Hane-Nite stabilizer is designed with attention to reducing unnecessary vibration. In addition, it features a double shield made from copper tape and an OFC braid, along with gold-plated contacts. Since this is a cable that carries signals, it considers not only the conductors, but also vibration, noise, and even the contact points.

However, replacing a USB cable doesn’t always produce the same result. How the changes show up depends on the connected devices, the USB specifications on the vehicle side, and the compatibility with the overall system. If it were me, I wouldn’t decide only on the cable first; I’d check your current car-audio setup and the music you usually listen to, then choose from the areas where you’re more likely to feel the benefits.

If you’re curious about AT-RX97EX (1.3 m), let’s confirm together whether it fits your current system and which parts you should review to make sound changes more likely.
