The "ACE 2.0" is an upgraded version of Ace, made from 8 cables consisting of silver foil and copper alloy. Each cable has a diameter of up to 1.0mm and consists of 4 wires of 7 strands of 0.2mm silver foil and 4 wires of 28 strands of 0.05mm copper alloy. This combination provides excellent conductivity. When multiple strands of silver foil conductor are twisted together, it can reduce the skin effect of a regular round wire and increase transmission efficiency. The copper alloy conductors in the headphone cable provide a more realistic, transparent, and rich sound and performance compared to regular copper wire, with more detailed layers and improved soundstage, reproducing music at a HiFi level.
Sound Enhancements:
Compared to the first generation, the upgraded ACE 2.0 cable shows significant improvement in overall sound quality, especially in terms of sound texture. The sound is cleaner and more cohesive, with a larger soundstage, and sounds more relaxed and natural. High-frequency performance is natural, with moderate proportions and instrument brightness, as well as cohesive texture. The midrange frequencies and vocal positioning are closer, and the vocal delivery is quite realistic. Low-frequency details are clear and create an atmospheric feeling. Overall, this is a cleaner and higher quality cable compared to the first version.
Modular System:
The "ACE 2.0" features interchangeable plugs and comes with three types of terminal plugs: 2.5mm, 3.5mm, and 4.4mm. These include balanced plugs of 2.5mm, 4.4mm, and a single-ended plug with a diameter of 3.5mm, making it suitable for most playback devices.
Users can switch between plugs according to their needs. Additionally, the plug material, coated with copper with gold plating, effectively prevents oxidation on the contact group, reduces resistance, and improves conductivity. The headphone connectors are available in two types: 0.78mm 2-pin and mmcx, which feel smooth and sturdy when inserted and removed.
Materials:
The "ACE 2.0" plugs are made of copper with gold plating, while the other parts are made of aluminum alloy. The aluminum alloy undergoes surface anodizing treatment, creating a dense, uniform, and corrosion-resistant oxide layer with high hardness on the surface, thereby increasing its wear resistance and durability.
Protective Cover:
The "ACE 2.0" cable is covered with super soft, skin-friendly PVC insulation, which is flexible, heat-resistant, and wear-resistant. The cable is lightweight and durable, effectively extending the cable's service life and reducing any "microphonic" effect, making it more convenient to use.
