Cardas calls it \"quite possibly the best value in digital cables\" and describes it as \"detailed, smooth, and musical.\" It is light, flexible and built to a 75-ohm geometry for S\/PDIF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 1.05em; margin: 0.9em 0 0.25em 0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eSix-Nines Litz Copper in Golden Ratio Gauges\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 0.9em 0; line-height: 1.55;\"\u003eThe conductor is Grade 1 copper, 99.9999% pure, with each strand sealed in clear SPN enamel. That is Cardas's Litz construction. Strand gauges step in Golden Ratio proportions in what Cardas calls cross-field layer geometry, insulated in a PTFE jacket. The single conductor totals 20.5 gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.25em; margin: 1.4em 0 0.35em 0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eAir Tubes Hold the Shield Away From the Conductor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 0.9em 0; line-height: 1.55;\"\u003eCardas binds low-density polyurethane air tubes around the conductor with FEP tape. They suspend the aluminized polyester and tin-plated copper spiral shield away from the signal path. Cardas says this specific geometry achieves 75 ohms, the S\/PDIF standard. The cable is 8.76 millimeters across.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 1.05em; margin: 0.9em 0 0.25em 0; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eThe GRMO RCA and BNC Plugs, Explained\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 0.9em 0; line-height: 1.55;\"\u003eThis Parsec Digital ends in a Cardas GRMO RCA plug on one end and a BNC plug on the other. BNC is the bayonet plug that twists a quarter turn and locks, found on some DACs, transports and studio gear. The GRMO is Cardas's own RCA: non-magnetic brass, silver-plated contacts with a rhodium flash and a gold-plated cover.\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\u003eYour transport has BNC and your DAC has RCA\u003c\/strong\u003e — one cable covers both sockets, so no adapter sits in the digital path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou want Cardas copper at Cardas's lowest digital price\u003c\/strong\u003e — Parsec Digital carries the same six-nines Litz copper as the Parsec interconnects, so the line matches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou want a plug that locks\u003c\/strong\u003e — the BNC end twists and locks, so it will not work loose behind the rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou want a true 75-ohm line\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cardas says the geometry achieves 75 ohms, so the signal sees one impedance from plug to plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoth your components use the same socket\u003c\/strong\u003e — a mixed BNC-to-RCA cable is only for gear that differs.
