Nordost Tyr 2 Digital Cable

The 110 ohm XLR configuration is designed for AES/EBU balanced digital connections, while the 75 ohm SPDIF configuration is for coaxial digital connections. You should choose the version that matches the specific digital input and output ports on your transport and DAC.

Nordost engineers the Tyr 2 to maintain signal integrity across all available lengths, from 1 meter to 3 meters. While shorter runs are generally preferred to minimize potential interference, this cable is designed to perform consistently regardless of the length you choose.

The Tyr 2 utilizes high-precision construction and advanced shielding techniques to minimize signal degradation and reflections. By maintaining a strict impedance consistency, it ensures the digital data stream remains stable, which directly helps the receiving device clock the signal more accurately.

No, the Tyr 2 is designed for transparency. Its primary goal is to deliver the digital signal exactly as it was sent, without adding or subtracting any character, allowing the true performance of your DAC and transport to shine through.

Yes, it is specifically engineered to handle the high bandwidth requirements of high-resolution audio. Its precise construction ensures that complex musical textures and timing information are preserved, which is critical for high-res playback.
