Detailed Description

Conductor Geometry

The Epic Digital Tuned ARAY cable utilizes the unique Tuned ARAY conductor geometry. This design is specifically engineered to improve signal accuracy and timing, resulting in a cleaner, more detailed sound.

Conductor Material

The cable features two 75 ohm silver-plated oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors. Silver plating enhances conductivity and signal transmission, making it ideal for digital audio applications where precision is crucial.

Insulation

Each conductor is insulated with PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), a material known for its excellent electrical properties and resistance to heat. This insulation minimizes signal loss and interference, ensuring high-fidelity audio performance.

Shielding

To combat high-frequency interference, the Epic Digital cable employs a high-density, silver-plated combination braid and foil shield. This shielding is critical for maintaining signal integrity, especially in environments with significant electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Connectors

The cable is fitted with Chord Company’s VEE3 ChorAlloy™ plated connectors. These connectors provide a secure and reliable connection while minimizing signal loss and corrosion, thus preserving audio quality over time.

Application

Epic Digital cables are well-suited for use with high-end digital-to-analog converters (DACs), CD transports, and streamers. Users may observe significant performance improvements when upgrading digital links, although system compatibility should be considered when selecting between AES-EBU, BNC, or RCA (S/PDIF) versions.
