Atlas Marvos Ultra S/PDIF Interconnect
Atlas Marvos Ultra S/PDIF Interconnect
£280.00
Our finest wide bandwidth S/PDIF cable, utilising a silver-plated copper conductor, designed to be technically and sonically superior, without the typical noise-related ‘glare’ frequently found in inferior cables. Recommended for use whenever signal integrity is paramount, for example between CD transport or hi-res media player/streamer and DAC.
Quantity:
A true reference class 75 Ohm digital cable.
The Mavros 75 Ohm cable follows logically from our creating an outstanding analogue interconnect, the Mavros Ultra RCA. The Atlas design team has developed a cable with extremely precise transmission and termination standards, incorporating the same microporous PTFE (Teflon™) dielectric insulation as the other Mavros interconnects. The centre conductor is comprised of a monofilament conductor and 18 strands of super-pure copper wire insulated by a thin layer of microporous PTFE. This new dielectric behaves almost like the theoretically perfect insulator –free air – with minimal effect upon the signal being transmitted. The previous highest performance insulator, solid PTFE, has a dielectric constant of around 2.1 whilst the new PTFE (Teflon™) foam improves this figure to around 1.5, providing for a 30% greater signal velocity and better signal integrity, particularly in the area of high-frequency timing and stability. The co-axial double shielding layers are an aluminium Mylar™ foil followed by OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) braiding after which the whole cable is protected by a PVC jacket damped with cotton yarn. With a termination impedance of almost exactly 75 Ohms at 1 MHz and a low conductor-to-conductor capacitance of around 50 pF per meter, the Mavros digital interconnect perfectly matches consumer digital audio equipment to ensure error-free transmission of high-speed digital signals. The result is evident in the timing and dynamic range of musical performances where the temporal ‘smearing’ of lesser cables simply disappears.
Ultra RCA Plug
The Ultra is a wide-band, OCC copper, constant impedance, self-cleaning, solder-free construction RCA plug.
Silver Plated OFC
(OFC) Oxygen Free Copper was developed based on research that sound quality was related to the quality of copper and the processing used during cable manufacture.
Microporous PTFE
Microporous PTFE (Teflon™) is a unique, low-density dielectric material, phase stable at room temperature, which offers significant performance improvements over solid PTFE (Teflon™) dielectric designs.
Co-ax
Central conductor (signal path) surrounded by dielectric material encased within a circular conducting screen which acts as the signal return path.
