About The WireWorld Supernova Optical Audio Cable
Introducing the latest Wireworld Supernova optical digital audio cable with Toslink connectors on both ends. You can rightly assume that with the price-tag that Supernova is a reference-quality optical digital cable. It utilises 338 Borosilicate glass fibre optic conductors. The new termination technique provides improved clarity and dynamics that will thrill the most sophisticated listeners.
In theory, digital audio connections are supposed to be less sensitive to cables than analogue connections, but cable polygraph tests have shown that the audible losses of digital and analogue cables are actually comparable. Even Ethernet connections, which are perfectly reliable when saving files, tend to degrade the fidelity of streamed music and video in comparison to a local file source.
Low Jitter Produces Distinct Improvements: The sonic differences among digital audio cables are caused by jitter, which occurs as digital processors intermittently lose track of the digital bitstream. Jitter degrades sound quality by losing parts of the signal and replacing them with noise and distortion. WireWorld digital audio cables minimise jitter by providing sharper, cleaner leading edges on the digital waveform. At each price level, they provide the lowest jitter available and Super Nova produces distinct improvements in clarity, smoothness and dynamic range. The product is flexible yet tough and should give you many years of reliable service. In fact Wireworld are so confident that all their products have a lifetime warranty. Naturally this does not cover misuse or abuse.
Wireworld has invested in decades of research, testing and development to create digital audio cables that overcome those losses to provide substantial upgrades in musical realism and enjoyment. Over a wide range of applications and price levels, Wireworld digital audio cables advance the art of preserving the natural tone quality, spatial imaging and exciting dynamics of live music.
Listening Tests: Wireworld was founded with the unique mission of perfecting audio cables through objective listening tests. These scientific tests ensure that each new generation of cables lets you hear more of the original sound than previous cables.
