Description
Diamond
The Diamond range of digital cables from AudioQuest apply their Perfect-Surface technology to extreme-purity silver, which provides unprecedented clarity and dynamic contrast.
The use of solid conductors prevents strand interaction, a major source of cable distortion. Extremely high-purity Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries that exist within any metal conductor, nearly eliminating harshness and greatly increasing clarity, when compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers.
Other features (depending on cable) include Hard-Cell Foam Insulation, High-Speed Data Capacity, Carbon-Based Multi-Layer Noise Dissipation, Dielectric-Bias System with Radio Frequency Trap, and conductor directionality indicators.
The Diamond range contains the following digital interconnects:
- AES/EBU Cable
- Digital Coaxial Cable
- HDMI Cable
- Lightning/USB Digital Audio Cable
- Optical/Toslink Digital Audio Cable
- Ethernet (RJ/E) Cable
- USB Cable
AES/EBU Cable
AES/EBU is a two-channel digital standard for interconnecting digital devices in the professional world, developed jointly by the Audio Engineering Society and the European Broadcast Union. However it also finds application in the domestic environment. Whilst it can be single-ended, double-ended or optical, the AudioQuest Diamond AES/EBU is a balanced-digital interconnect.
Digital Coaxial Cable
Diamond Digital Coax cables are designed to minimize distortion across an extremely wide bandwidth. For many applications, the speed of digital communication is of prime importance, for instance the transfer of large files as quickly as possible, or the ability to carry enough data for HD video.
HDMI Cable
Diamond HDMI incorporates AudioQuest’s highest-performance, lowest-distortion Perfect-Surface Silver conductors. Silver is known for its high conductivity and its colourless sonic presentation.
Lightning/USB Digital Audio Cable
For USB audio, speed is critical because time relationships within a digital stream are critical to the reconstruction of the analog waveform. Time-based damage (jitter) upon this information makes the sound small, flat, harsh and foggy instead of smooth, precise and clear.
Optical/Toslink Digital Audio Cable
Now featuring 300 narrow-aperture quartz fibre, and low-jitter precision polished fibre ends, AudioQuest has refined and renewed their line of serious high performance OptiLink cables. All models and all lengths are now available Toslink – Toslink and Toslink – 3.5 mm Mini Optical.
Ethernet (RJ/E) Cable
RJ/E Diamond prepared Cat 7 Ethernet cables use solid 100% Perfect-Surface Silver conductors, which completely eliminate strand interaction, one of the biggest sources of distortion in cables, for clearer, more dynamic and involving sound.
USB Cable
Available in multiple lengths, and with termination options including USB-A, USB-B, USB-C, USB-Mini, USB-Micro, and USB3.0. All AudioQuest Diamond USB cables incorporate a newly developed strain-relief system to provide robust durability between the USB cable and plug.
