The Atlas Hyper dd Achromatic X Digital RCA-RCA coaxial digital cable is engineered to complement high-performance mid-range digital audio systems. It is recommended for connecting a network streamer or CD transport to a digital-to-analogue converter.
ATLAS HYPER dd Achromatic X Digital RCA-RCA: Features
The Hyper dd Achromatic X Digital RCA-RCA is designed to deliver a high-quality connection between a high-resolution streamer or CD transport and a digital-to-analogue converter (DAC). It is constructed to maintain a true constant 75-ohm impedance, guaranteeing error-free digital signal transmission. Many digital cables fail to meet strict 75-ohm standards due to manufacturing assembly flaws.
Solder-free RCA connectors eliminate electrical discontinuities and prevent shield compression, which otherwise cause impedance mismatches and induce jitter. The Hyper dd Achromatic X Digital RCA-RCA benefits from the dual drain (dd) system originally developed by Atlas Cable for its top-tier interconnects.
The cable features symmetrical dual shielding. Twin symmetrical drain wires connect the screen to the plug return interface, providing a constant low-impedance load at the connector and total 360° protection against RFI noise and signal loss. The conductors are silver-plated OFC copper, insulated with PEF (foamed polyethylene).
The connector design is paramount. Achromatic X RCA plugs feature low-mass, non-magnetic materials to minimize the negative impact of superfluous metal on plug performance.
The conductor-to-plug cold-weld connection is solder-free, with gold-plated conjugate brackets acting as the signal return path while shielding against RFI. These brackets secure the cable without crushing it, preserving its true 75-ohm impedance.
Connector pins are made from solid OFC copper rather than hollow brass alloys, featuring a knurled profile for more consistent conductor alignment during crimping.
