Description
Designed and handcrafted using a carefully selected combination of Duelund tinned copper and 5N OCC pure silver conductors, the Xtreme Silver Series is precisely fine-tuned to achieve exceptional sound quality while minimizing signal transmission loss.
Audiolund SPDIF Coaxial Digital/Clock Cable ~ Xtreme Silver Series
Key Features
- Refined Construction: The SPDIF Coaxial Digital/Clock Cable construction has been revised and optimized for improved sound quality.
- Hybrid Signal Conductors: Each signal path combines 1 × 12GA + 1 × 20GA Duelund tinned copper conductors with eight solid-core 5N OCC pure silver conductors in 18GA + 24GA + 26GA + 28GA + 29GA + 29GA + 32GA + 32GA.
- Multi-Layer Shielding: Multiple types and layers of shielding materials are applied to reduce noise and minimize RFI/EMI interference.
- Advanced Damping: A unique damping design incorporates various anti-vibration and damping materials to suppress unwanted vibration and improve isolation.
- Standard Length: 1.0 metre, with other lengths available upon request.
Sound Characteristics
The Xtreme Silver Series SPDIF Coaxial Digital Cable combines the sonic qualities of Audiolund’s Xtreme Series and True Silver Series, creating a more balanced and comprehensive presentation rather than emphasizing the distinct character of either series.
From the Xtreme Series, it delivers a natural, smooth, and highly musical presentation, complemented by a quiet background and the characteristic tonal qualities associated with Western Electric-style sound.
From the True Silver Series, it brings the sweetness, delicacy, speed, power, and dynamic response associated with high-purity silver conductors.
The result is a carefully balanced combination of the natural and musical character of the Xtreme Series with the clarity, refinement, speed, and dynamics of the True Silver Series.
Testing & System Compatibility
Although we do not use precision impedance measurement equipment for laboratory verification, the Xtreme Silver Series SPDIF Coaxial Digital Cable has been extensively tested across several high-end transport/DAC systems, with stable signal transmission and no observed signal errors.
In our listening comparisons, its performance has been competitive with established branded 75-ohm SPDIF coaxial cables.
The Xtreme Silver Series is designed to combine the natural, musical character associated with Western Electric-style sound with the clarity, speed, and refinement of modern pure silver conductors. This balanced sonic character makes it a highly versatile choice for a wide range of high-end audio systems.
Recommendation
If you appreciate both the natural, musical character of the Xtreme Series and the clarity, speed, and refinement of the True Silver Series, but find it difficult to choose between the two, the Xtreme Silver Series offers the ideal balance of both.
Selecting the Right Audiolund Series
For simplified product selection:
- Xtreme Series – For enthusiasts who prefer the classic vintage Duelund/Western Electric sonic character.
- True Silver Series – For listeners seeking the purity, speed, and transparency of modern 5N OCC Silver.
- Xtreme Silver Series – For those who enjoy the Duelund/Western Electric signature with additional silver-derived refinement and detail.
- Ultimate Silver Series – For listeners who favor silver performance while retaining elements of the classic Duelund character.
- Flagship Series – For those seeking an equal balance of both sonic signatures.
OPTION: Select Cable Sleeve Color:
1) Default: Red copper + Black Strip with Black Backgrounds
2) Optional: Red Copper + Red Stripe with Black Background
Cable Run-In
Most Audiolund cables use multi-core designs incorporating various conductor types, gauges, and combinations. As a result, they require an extended run-in period to reach their intended sonic performance.
The thick, solid-core OCC silver conductors typically require a longer run-in period than Duelund tinned copper conductors, which use multiple parallel strands of finer wire.
As a general guideline:
- Most Audiolund cables: approximately 100 to 200 hours
- Xtreme Silver Series: approximately 200 to 400 hours
Because the Xtreme Silver Series incorporates multiple solid-core OCC silver conductors together with Duelund tinned copper conductors, additional run-in time is recommended before making final critical listening evaluations.
Danny (seller) allowed me to try this cable as I find the first cable supplied by him was strong in bass but not high frequencie . Danny spent quite sometime with me to find out the issues and my preference in music and he recommended this cable which I am very pleased. A very reliable and knowledgeable seller . 5 stars from me .
