About the ATLAS Element Achromatic RCA S/PDIF Digital Coaxial Cable

Product Description

The Element Achromatic RCA S/PDIF matches the consumer digital audio specification, maintaining a true 75 Ohm impedance, ensuring error-free transmission of digital data signals between digital sources – CD transport or streamer – and DAC.

The Element Achromatic BNC is constructed with a continuous path for the signal virtually free of the discontinuities that can degrade the music signal in subtle but audible ways.

While some contend that in theory, digital information is simply a sequence of ones and zeroes, in practice a high quality digital audio signal is not as robust as pure theory would imply. Care must be taken to minimise any errors created by the cable itself, and also to shield against ‘noise’ generated by the ingress of EMI and RFI. These factors, if not addressed, are unlikely to cause obvious noise issues or ‘drop-outs’ but can accumulate to result in the sheen or glare which typically affects the quality of digital playback.

Many cables actually fail to meet the 75 Ohm standard due to flaws in the way the cable itself is manufactured and assembled. Our Achromatic RCA cold-weld solder-free connectors avoid the continuity breaks and compression of the cable’s shielding screen, which cause impedance problems and lead to compromised jitter performance. The Element Achromatic RCA S/PDIF conductor is silver-plated multi-stranded OFC (Oxygen Free Copper), insulated by an extremely low-loss foamed polyethylene dielectric. The result is a cable which provides an excellent foundation for further system improvements.
