Know before you buy
The patented Hollow Oval design helps minimize frequency smear, which is a common issue in digital signal transmission. By maintaining a more consistent signal edge, it ensures that your DAC can recover the clock signal more accurately for cleaner audio playback.
Continuous Cast Copper, or solo crystal copper, is used because it has fewer grain boundaries than standard copper. This superior conductivity allows for a more efficient transfer of the digital data stream, reducing potential distortion.
The cable is available with either locking RCA or Neutrik XLR connectors depending on your specific equipment needs. You should choose the connector type that matches the digital input and output ports on your source and DAC.
Yes, the cable features a flexible braided conductor design. This makes it much easier to route and manage behind your audio rack compared to stiffer, solid-core digital cables.
In digital audio, shorter cable runs are generally preferred to minimize potential interference and signal degradation. A 0.5-meter length is an ideal choice for connecting components that are stacked or placed closely together.
