Offered is „Continental 5S digital audio USB cable (type A to B) 1,2 metre“ by Oyaide as second-hand device from the category „USB Cable“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 6958589871 ends on 21.10.2026 at 06:09 o'clock.
€259 is above the 75th percentile for the recent EUR comparables, so this is an ambitious asking price rather than a fair-market buy. Against a median of €194 and a 25th percentile of €159, it’s priced roughly €65 over the middle of the pack and €100 above the lower quartile, so I’d only bite if the length, terminations, or provenance are unusually good.
That said, this is a well-regarded USB cable in the audiophile lane: the Continental 5S is known for a balanced, highly musical presentation rather than flashy effects, and it’s built with premium materials and careful construction. If it’s genuinely in good condition and comes with the right plugs and original bits, it may still appeal to someone matching a system that benefits from a quality digital cable, but at this price I’d want strong evidence of completeness and low use.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Oyaide Electric traces its roots to 1952, when founder Kazuji Oyaide (also referred to as Katsuji Oyaide) opened a modest electrical wires shop in Tokyo's Akihabara district. Initially focused on magnet wires and industrial cables, the company incorporated in 1971 and pivoted fully to specialty wires by the mid-1970s, abandoning home appliance sales amid Japan's economic boom. A pivotal shift came in the 1980s, spurred by audio critic Saburo Egawa's insights on wire quality, leading to Oyaide's first audio products like the OR-800 speaker cable and OCB-1 power distribution box.
Oyaide specializes in high-performance audio cables and accessories, including interconnects, speaker cables, power cords, distribution blocks, connectors, and turntable components. Under presidents Satoru Murayama from 2000 and later Naoko Murayama, the brand expanded through strategic partnerships with expert manufacturers, emphasizing oxygen-free copper litz structures and precision engineering—all made in Japan.
Renowned among audiophiles for meticulous craftsmanship and the "genuine Japanese spirit," Oyaide occupies a solid niche in the mid-tier to upper-mid market, offering reliable upgrades without extravagant pricing. Its products enjoy a cult following in Japan and abroad for enhancing system clarity and dynamics, positioning it as a go-to for discerning buyers seeking value-driven Japanese precision over luxury exotica.
