Excellent upgrade from Supra Excalibur
I have owned this cable for a while now and compared it against Supra Excalibur, the original Supra USB, Oyaide neo d+ Class S, and Neotech Neub 1020. I haven't heard the old Furutech GT2 version without NCF, but from what I've read from others this is a significant improvement over Furutech's old USB cable.

Comparing directly against the other USB cables I mentioned it's most similar in style to Supra Excalibur, but also a clear upgrade in quality. Supra Excalibur has a firm style of sound that emphasizes slam and punch. It's also a bit flat in soundstage quality compared against the other cables. The most common complaint about Supra Excalibur is that it's excessively firm and as a result feels unnatural and somehow dead and sterile. I think Furutech GT2 NCF delivers everything that's good about the Supra Excalibur while fixing all the flaws. It's not a small difference, as I think the perceived upgrade in sound quality matches the price, ie it's 2x the cost for what easily sounds like 2x the sound quality. Let's say that Supra Excalibur adds 80% firmness the original sound, then Furutech GT2 NCF dials it down to maybe 15% extra firmness. You get more physical presence and punch, but without overdoing it. The reference I'm using here is Neotech Neub 1020, which emphasizes the air more but also might be a bit too laid back and gentle. The Furutech GT2 NCF feels roughly similar in quality, but different in style as it give you extra physicality. For most people I think the Neub 1020 will be better, and it also feels better for my audiophile brain to be using pure silver conductors instead of silver plated copper used by the Furutech GT2 NCF. But I can't deny that the GT2 NCF sounds amazing, and I think the NCF technology is effective in cleaning up problems in the signal. I think Furutech have done a great job with this cable. The quality of sound matches the price. I think on some systems this will be clearly better than Neub 1020, so you should seriously consider it. Because I use USB reclockers I'm using both Neub 1020 and GT2 NCF in my system with great results.
