The NA4 Will Gives You Musical Pleasure

I listened to the NA4 using Qobuz sources. It is a cable that expresses a wide variety of sonic textures in a straightforward manner.

On Mie Joke’s “Cheek to Cheek,” the acoustic bass at the beginning had a solid sense of volume, with sharply defined note contours and a refreshingly clear musical progression. The vocal image was tight, conveying a firm, cohesive presence.

The edges were clearly sculpted but without any sense of exaggeration, giving a refined, high-quality, and very pleasant impression. The subtle nuances of Mie Joke’s voice were carefully rendered, and Tsuyoshi Yamamoto’s piano fingering sounded smooth.

For orchestral music, I listened to Ravel’s “Alborada del gracioso” performed by the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra under the direction of Daniel Barenboim. What first impressed me was the rich reproduction of soundstage information. The opening pizzicato murmurs of the entire string section created a soundfield that seemed to ripple through the air—an outstanding spatial depiction. The oboe, interwoven with the strings, had a very rich tonal color. Tutti passages were explosive yet retained high resolution, and the textures were transparent and refreshingly clear.

In this way, I found that the NA4 is a cable that not only fulfills basic audio performance requirements but also delivers musical pleasure through its expressive density, subtlety, and reliable sense of musical flow.
