AudioQuest Carbon Coax Digital Audio Cable

The solid 5% silver conductors are designed to minimize strand-interaction distortion. By using a solid conductor rather than a bundle of strands, the cable eliminates the primary source of distortion found in standard cables, resulting in a cleaner, more precise signal.

This system uses a five-layer mesh network to shield the cable from radio-frequency interference. It effectively drains RF noise away from the ground plane before it can impact your audio signal, ensuring a quieter background and better clarity.

The conductors are direction-controlled to ensure that radio-frequency noise is drained away from the most sensitive components. This design choice helps prevent interference from accumulating and affecting the signal path.

Cold-welding creates a superior connection by using high pressure to bond the cable to the plug without the use of solder. Solder can often introduce impurities or create a weak point in the signal path, whereas cold-welding maintains the integrity of the metal-to-metal contact.

This length is ideal for connecting components that are stacked or placed on the same shelf, such as a CD transport to a DAC. If your equipment is further apart, you may need a longer cable to avoid tension on the connectors.

This insulation material is used to maintain stable impedance throughout the cable. By minimizing energy absorption, it ensures that the digital signal remains consistent and accurate from one end to the other.
