This is the RCA version, for the coaxial digital socket on most sources and DACs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eContinuous Cast Copper in a Hollow Oval Braid\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eAnalysis Plus makes Digital Crystal from Continuous Cast Copper, the metal it calls solo crystal copper, woven into braids in its patented hollow oval design. The company says the shape brings out the best in your equipment. It is the same copper Analysis Plus uses in its Solo Crystal analog cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eAnalysis Plus offers Digital Crystal in three configurations: single-ended with RCA plugs, balanced with Abbatron XLR plugs, and BNC. It publishes no impedance figure for the cable, so this page does not claim one. Lengths run from half a meter to four meters at the maker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWhy Analysis Plus Chose an Oval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eAnalysis Plus says a round conductor bunches current and suffers skin effect, while a rectangular one concentrates the field at its corners. Its hollow oval, it says, changes resistance least with frequency. A braid rather than a solid wire keeps the cable flexible and resistant to kinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eThe RCA Plugs, Explained\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eDigital Crystal ends in a non-locking RCA plug at each end. RCA is the single-pin plug on the coaxial digital output of most CD players, streamers and DACs. Analysis Plus lists the plug only as non-locking RCA and does not publish its maker or plating, so we do not claim them. Older listings said locking; the maker's page does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWho Is This Digital Cable Best For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;padding-left:1.4em;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou want the best digital cable Analysis Plus makes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Digital Crystal is the company's own top pick, built from its solo crystal copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou already own Solo Crystal Oval interconnects\u003c\/strong\u003e — the same Continuous Cast Copper runs through both, so the digital link matches the rest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYour CD player or streamer has a coaxial output\u003c\/strong\u003e — the RCA plugs fit the orange coax socket on most sources and DACs, so no adapter is needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYour rack is tight\u003c\/strong\u003e — the braided construction stays flexible and resists kinks, so it routes behind a shelf without a fight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYour gear has BNC or AES\/EBU sockets\u003c\/strong\u003e — an RCA plug will not fit them.
