They are full 48Gbps cables for the picture, but the best metal goes to the eARC pair and its ground drain, the path your sound actually takes. Here that means 100% silver eARC conductors and a 100% silver ground drain, with Level-7 Noise-Dissipation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003e100% silver eARC Conductors, 100% silver Ground-Reference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eAudioQuest says the eARC data pair and the ground-reference drain in Dragon eARC-Priority use 100% silver, the same ingredients as its flagship Dragon 48.
