Audioquest Coffee Digital Coaxial Cable

Audioquest is an American brand specializing in digital and analog interconnects. The Audioquest Coffee digital coaxial cable is a high-quality audio digital link.

Audioquest Coffee: Features

The connectors are made of pure Purple Copper with silver plating. The conductors are cold-welded to the connector using an 8,000-ampere current. The 0.41 mm2 solid-core conductor features PSC+ copper plated with 10% silver. Silver plating allows for superior conductivity and lower resistance. Shielding is provided by a silver-plated braid.

Cable insulation is provided by High-Density Hard-Cell Foam, which prevents interference that could compromise sound quality. This cable also features a 6-layer carbon-based Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) within its jacket. It effectively prevents Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics protect the shield. The Coffee is the manufacturer's first digital cable to feature a DBS (Dielectric-Bias System) pack, which maintains a 72V bias.

Audioquest Coffee: Review and Listening

During listening sessions, the importance of digital links becomes immediately apparent, as the Audioquest Coffee coaxial cable respects the original signal and reproduces music faithfully. This cable offers a highly detailed reproduction with great subtlety. The soundstage is very open, allowing one to truly feel the space between instruments in both width and depth. The tonal balance across all registers is excellent, especially the highs, which are remarkably smooth yet neutral. This Audioquest Coffee cable makes a real difference compared to a standard cable: better clarity, more stability, and a more natural sound.

Highly recommended.
