AudioQuest NRG-Y2 Power Cable

This cable is designed for sensitive components that benefit from cleaner power, such as digital-to-analog converters (DACs), network streamers, and powered speakers. It is specifically built with a C7 connector, so ensure your device has the corresponding two-pin input before purchasing.

The NRG-Y2 uses Long-Grain Copper conductors and silver-plated drain wires to minimize radio frequency interference and strand-interaction distortion. By effectively draining noise to the ground, it allows your equipment to operate with better transient integrity and a cleaner signal path.

AudioQuest tests every conductor in this cable to ensure the internal metal grain structure is oriented in the correct direction. This ensures that radio frequency noise is drained away from your sensitive audio components rather than toward them.

Instead of traditional shielding, which can sometimes compress the sound, the NRG-Y2 utilizes proprietary noise-dissipation technology and silver-plated drain wires. This approach manages RF noise without restricting the current flow needed for dynamic, uncompressed performance.

Yes, the cable features a durable nylon braid that provides a good balance of protection and flexibility. While it is robust, it is pliable enough to route behind equipment racks or through tight cable management channels without significant resistance.
