Haven't compared directly but can say the quality of construction is not up to Nordost's standard. Had a USB Coffee running from a hard drive enclosure to an Aries but then the weave/covering on the cable started to unravel at one end. AQ did replace it but the quality wasn't reassurring. A second point, asked if it could be repaired/reterminated but was told their stock is made in China so not possible.
Nordost has their factory stateside and can re-terminate any of their line.
Bulletproof construction and, to my ear, the better sonics.
