You can have the finest conductors in the world, he says, but if an S\/PDIF cable is assembled approximately, you lose everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEsprit Eureka S\/PDIF Coaxial Digital Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e is a coaxial digital cable from Esprit's Eureka range. Esprit hand-builds the Eureka S\/PDIF cable in Confolens, Charente, in 1 and 1.5 m and in 50 or 75 ohm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe idea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEsprit sees Eureka as a decisive step, the range in which advanced filtering and stabilization reach every link, the Eureka S\/PDIF cable included. Its description of the range mentions very high conductor density, dielectrics chosen to suit each application, and air and Nomex insulation, the framework in which the Eureka S\/PDIF cable is built. Eh 200 connectors complete the Eureka S\/PDIF cable. Richard Cesari has been making cables since 1996, and the Eureka S\/PDIF cable carries three decades of that work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade in Confolens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEsprit's team designs and assembles the Eureka S\/PDIF cable by hand in its workshop in Confolens, Charente. Richard Cesari insists that assembly counts as much as materials, so each Eureka S\/PDIF cable is checked at every stage of the work. The first complete check of the Eureka 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\u003eListening\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEsprit promises exceptional silence in operation from the Eureka S\/PDIF cable, with greater separation between the planes of the stage, remarkable precision and a rarely reached realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts connectors are Esprit's own Eh 200 type, built around a pure copper body and center pin with 20-micron silver plating, because Esprit designs a connector on the Eureka S\/PDIF cable as an extension of the conductor itself. Inside, the Eureka S\/PDIF cable uses a pure copper and pure silver star-quad construction, insulated in polyamide imide rated to thermal class 200°. Esprit specifies the shielding of the Eureka S\/PDIF cable as multilayer full shielding, non-floating progressive shielding. Its conductors are pure silver and pure copper, a choice Esprit makes in the Eureka S\/PDIF cable for conductivity rather than for show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Eureka S\/PDIF cable is level 7 of Esprit's nine, above Lumina and below Gaia. Order the Eureka S\/PDIF cable in 50 or 75 ohm, whichever your equipment specifies, and in 1 and 1.5 m.
