Atlas Hyper Achromatic RCA S/PDIF

A high performance OCC Copper cable engineered to be a superior option for use between hi-res streamer or CD transport and DAC.

The Hyper Achromatic RCA S/PDIF is designed to match the consumer digital audio specification by maintaining a true 75 Ohm impedance, ensuring error-free transmission of digital data signals. Many cables actually fail to meet the 75 Ohm standard due to flaws in the way the cable itself is manufactured and assembled. Our 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 cable benefits from a simplified version of the dual-drain system originally developed for our top-of-the-range Mavros and Asimi interconnects. Twin symmetrical drain wires connect the screen to the cable return/plug interface, meaning the cable can be terminated without distorting, twisting or mechanically stressing the precision-laid screen. The benefits are in maintaining a consistent low impedance load to the plug, and a total 360° screening against noise and signal loss caused by RFI (Radio Frequency Interference).

The Hyper Achromatic RCA is a superior digital cable for connecting a CD transport or streamer to a DAC.

The Hyper range includes DIN & XLR termination options, digital interconnects plus stereo & bi-wire speaker cables.

Features

Achromatic RCA

he Achromatic RCA is a low-mass, non-compression, constant impedance, self-cleaning, solder-free construction plug.

OCC Copper

OCC (Ohno Continuous Casting) process was developed by Professor Ohno, from the Chiba Institute of Technology, to manufacture a very high purity single grain copper or silver. There are only a handful of companies in the world manufacturing via this method.

PEF

PEF (Foamed Polyethylene). The foaming process uses a blowing agent, of which there are two types. Atlas use the gas-foamed method which creates a more inert, consistent and higher quality product.

Co-ax dd

Central conductor (signal path) surrounded by dielectric material encased within a circular conducting screen which acts as the signal return path. Combined with our dd (dual drain) system which avoids distortion of the screening braid during assembly, which can change the RF impedance of the cable and therefore its performance.
