{"product_id":"esprit-eterna-spdif-coaxial-digital-cable","title":"Esprit Eterna S\/PDIF Coaxial Cable – Handmade in France","description":"\u003cp\u003eEsprit asks an S\/PDIF cable neither to color the sound nor to compensate for anything. In the company's view, an S\/PDIF cable should be as transparent as possible, so that the system's own qualities can come through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEsprit Eterna S\/PDIF Coaxial Digital Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e is a coaxial digital cable from Esprit's Eterna range. Esprit hand-builds the Eterna S\/PDIF cable in Confolens, Charente, in 1 and 1.5 m and in 50 or 75 ohm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA reference since 1999\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Eterna name has been an Esprit reference since 1999, and the Eterna S\/PDIF cable belongs to its tenth generation. Esprit calls this generation a turning point in its range, and the Eterna S\/PDIF cable is part of the step it describes. Esprit describes Eterna links as built on reinforced conductor density and optimized dielectrics, often with air insulation and more evolved shielding, the brief behind the Eterna S\/PDIF cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade in Confolens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEsprit's team designs and assembles the Eterna S\/PDIF cable by hand in its workshop in Confolens, Charente. Richard Cesari insists that assembly counts as much as materials, so each Eterna S\/PDIF cable is checked at every stage of the work. The first complete check of the Eterna S\/PDIF cable is made by the person who built it, and nothing moves on until it has been validated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEsprit hears a clear gain in silence, image depth and precision at the Eterna level, and it describes the Eterna S\/PDIF cable as more open, more nuanced and more immersive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts connectors are Esprit's own Eh 100 type, built around a pure copper body and center pin with 10-micron silver plating, because Esprit designs a connector on the Eterna S\/PDIF cable as an extension of the conductor itself. Inside, the Eterna S\/PDIF cable uses a twinax construction, insulated in polyamide imide rated to thermal class 200°. Esprit specifies the shielding of the Eterna S\/PDIF cable as triple fully shielded. For Esprit, a cable such as the Eterna S\/PDIF cable should simply let the system express what it can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Eterna S\/PDIF cable is level 4 of Esprit's nine, above Celesta and below Aura. Order the Eterna S\/PDIF cable in 50 or 75 ohm, whichever your equipment specifies, and in 1 and 1.5 m.
