AudioQuest Digital Coax cables are meticulously crafted to minimize distortion across an expansive bandwidth. In numerous scenarios, the swiftness of digital communication holds significant importance. Primarily, speed pertains to the rapid transfer of large files or the seamless transmission of data for HD video. However, concerning Digital Coax audio, speed is not solely about velocity, but rather about preserving the intricate time relationships within a digital stream. These time-based relationships are crucial for accurately reconstructing the analog waveform responsible for delivering information, music, and pleasure to our ears. Any disruption in these time-based relationships, commonly known as jitter, within the data package can result in compromised sound quality—rendering it lacking in dimensionality and depth, or causing it to sound abrasive and unclear instead of smooth and lucid.

SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE SILVER (PSS) CONDUCTORS
Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. PSS Solid-Silver minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes linear RF Noise-Dissipation.
CARBON-BASED 7-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS), 2 X EMI ABSORPTION
100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment’s ground reference requires AQ’s Noise-Dissipation System. Metal and Carbon-Loaded synthetics prevent most RFI from reaching the equipment’s ground plane.
HARD-CELL FOAM INSULATION
Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard-Cell Foam Insulation is similar to the Foamed-PE used in our more affordable Bridges & Falls cables, and is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy from or into the conductor, distortion is reduced. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable’s conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable’s full length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.
