AudioQuest's digital optical cables are designed to minimize distortion across a remarkably wide frequency bandwidth. The speed of digital communication is important for many applications. In the case of the optical cable, "speed" is critical not in terms of "how much and how fast," but because the relationships of time within a digital stream are crucial for the reconstruction of the analog waves that carry information, music, and enjoyment.

• PERFECT-SURFACE SILVER (PSS) TECHNOLOGY: Perfect-Surface technology is applied to ultra-pure silver, delivering unmatched clarity and dynamic contrast. The solid conductors prevent cable interaction, a major source of distortion.
• 6-LAYER NOISE DISSIPATION SYSTEM: The Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) absorbs and reflects most noisy/RF energy before it reaches the grounding surface.
• HARD-CELL FOAM INSULATION: Ensures signal geometry. Insulation from Hard-Cell Foam reduces distortion, providing stability and further decreasing distortion.
• SILVER-PLATED CONNECTORS: Connectors made from pure red copper provide a strong and high-quality connection.
