Viard Audio Silver HD12 (S/PDIF) digital cable

Viard Audio Silver HD12 S/PDIF: Characteristics

The French brand Viard Audio is well-known and highly regarded for its range of cables, speakers, and interconnect cables. Its product lineup has expanded to include cables for digital connections.

VIARD AUDIO SILVER HD12 S/PDIF: CHARACTERISTICS

This digital cable offers a very precise 75 Ohm impedance, perfectly conforming to the S/PDIF standard. This ensures flawless transmission of digital signals.

The conductors are made from pure Cu-VHQ copper. This is combined with a double shield consisting of an inverted copper braid. The insulator between the conductors and the shielding braid is made of polyethylene. The RCA connectors feature gold-plated contacts and a Teflon (PTFE) dielectric.

The outer sheath is made of white silicone, a trademark of this French manufacturer.

VIARD AUDIO SILVER HD12 S/PDIF: TEST AND LISTENING

This Viard Audio coaxial digital cable delivers very detailed sound and seems to have a less "digital" reproduction compared to its competitors. After several hours of listening, there is no listening fatigue. It is less detailed and demonstrative than the Viard Audio Silver HD20 S/PDIF, but it offers a beautiful balance and a lot of nuance.

This digital cable enhances smoothness and substance, areas often lacking in other cables.

The Viard Audio Silver HD12 S/PDIF digital cable is an excellent coaxial cable that will allow entry and mid-range components (network player, DAC, CD drive, etc.) to perform at their best.

Highly recommended.
