Know before you buy
Digital audio signals are highly sensitive to impedance mismatches, which can cause signal reflections and data errors. Maintaining a strict 110-ohm standard ensures the most accurate, jitter-free transmission between your digital components.
Silver is one of the most conductive materials available, allowing for extremely efficient signal transfer. In this cable, it helps preserve the fine detail and transient response of your digital audio stream.
Rhodium is exceptionally durable and resistant to corrosion, ensuring a long-lasting, secure connection. By using tellurium copper as the base metal, the connectors provide superior conductivity compared to standard brass alternatives.
Yes, the PTFE foam dielectric is used to keep the cable's capacitance very low at 11 pF/ft. This design choice minimizes signal loss and helps maintain the integrity of the digital waveform over the length of the cable.
The D-110 is engineered for high-performance digital transmission, and its low-capacitance design makes it well-suited for maintaining signal clarity even over longer distances. However, for any digital cable, keeping the run as short as necessary is always best practice.
