Reference Digital Precision for Computer Audio | Available at Trimira Audio

The Nordost Valhalla 2 USB 2.0 Cable is a flagship digital interface from Nordost's Reference Series, designed for demanding computer-audio systems connecting high-resolution music servers, computers, USB interfaces, and DACs.

Combining Dual Mono-Filament technology, silver-plated solid-core conductors, isolated power and data paths, comprehensive dual-layer shielding, and custom HOLO:PLUG® connectors, the Valhalla 2 is engineered to provide a carefully controlled USB connection for reference digital systems.

At Trimira Audio, we recommend the Valhalla 2 USB 2.0 Cable for listeners building uncompromising computer-audio and USB-DAC systems.

Key Features & Technological Innovations

Patented Dual Mono-Filament Technology

Each conductor is wrapped with two helical FEP strands before being enclosed in an extruded FEP outer jacket.

This creates a low-contact dielectric environment designed to reduce dielectric interaction and energy storage while supporting rapid signal propagation.

Four 19 AWG Silver-Plated Solid-Core Conductors

The Valhalla 2 employs 4 × 19 AWG solid-core conductors manufactured from 99.999999% high-purity OFC copper with 85 µm pure silver plating.

The heavy-gauge solid-core construction provides consistent conductor geometry and substantial current-carrying capability.

Isolated Power & Data Architecture

The USB power and data paths are physically separated and shielded to reduce interaction between the host device's 5 V power supply and the high-speed digital data pairs.

100% Dual-Layer Shielding

A combined foil-and-braid structure provides complete coverage around the cable's high-frequency digital signal paths, helping protect against:

  • RF interference
  • Electromagnetic interference
  • External electrical noise
  • High-frequency crosstalk

Custom Low-Mass HOLO:PLUG® USB Connectors

The Valhalla 2 USB 2.0 is available with custom HOLO:PLUG® configurations including:

  • Type-A → Type-B USB 2.0
  • Type-A → Type-C
  • Other compatible Type-C configurations

The low-mass connector architecture is designed to maintain controlled electrical and mechanical characteristics at the USB interface.
