Know before you buy
Matched Propagation technology is designed to minimize signal distortion by ensuring that the electrical signal and the electromagnetic wave travel at the same speed. This results in a highly transparent and neutral sound, allowing your digital source to be conveyed with exceptional accuracy.
Yes, the Cardas Clear Digital cable is available with either Cardas SRCA or BNC connectors. You should select the termination that matches the digital input and output requirements of your specific audio components.
Despite its high-end construction, the cable features an ultra-soft thermoplastic rubber (TPR) jacket. This design makes it significantly more flexible and easier to manage than many other reference-grade digital cables.
Yes, maintaining a precise 75Ω impedance is critical for digital SPDIF signals to prevent reflections and data errors. This cable is precision-engineered to meet that standard, ensuring a stable and error-free connection between your transport and DAC.
The cable utilizes ultra-fine Grade 1, 99.9999% pure oxygen-free copper conductors. These are arranged in a Litz construction around a Kevlar core, which provides both superior signal integrity and long-term physical durability.
