Audio Art Cable

High-Fidelity Sound Starts with the Right Connection

We live in a digital world, and that's true for audio too. While it may seem like your digital cable is only sending ones and zeroes, issues like timing (jitter) and electromagnetic noise can affect sound quality and fidelity. 

Here's how our well-engineered audiophile digital cables can prevent these problems: 

Handcrafted Quality 

Each cable is meticulously engineered, exhaustively tested, and assembled in San Diego, California, USA. This hands-on approach allows us to maintain tight quality control and ensure that you'll get a digital cable that will actually make a difference in your audio setup’s performance. 

Premium Materials 

Our audiophile digital cables are built using Ohno Continuous Cast (OCC) copper and silver, allowing for the highest level of signal purity and conductivity. 

Advanced Construction 

Our cables are built with maximized shielding to eliminate external interference, a necessary feature in digital cables, especially in today's environment filled with Wi-Fi and cell signals. The connector is where signal transfer can be lost or won, so we only use the best. 

Cryogenic Treatment 

Our digital cables, like the ones in our Statement Series, undergo deep cryogenic treatment. This improves clarity and detail and gives a smoother, more refined sound. 

Performance at Affordable Prices

Get a smoother, more natural sound at a fraction of the cost. It's our belief (and mission) that you can get high-performance audiophile cables at reasonable prices.

AAC’s Digital Cables Lineup and Features 

Take a look at our specialized range of audiophile digital cables:

D1SE2 Series Digital Coaxial Cables

The D1SE2 digital coaxial cable series is built to deliver excellent performance at an affordable price. Its Silver-plated Oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductor helps maintain a precise 75-ohm impedance, which reduces signal disruptions. With jitters and other data anomalies kept at a minimum, you can expect increased sound fidelity. 

Our AAC D1SE2 coax cables use RTI Research Link RCA plugs for RCA terminations and Furutech BNC connectors for BNC terminations. 

 

Statement Series Digital Coaxial Cables 

Take your system’s performance to the next level with AAC’s Statement series coaxial cables. Built around a single-crystal Ohno Continuous Cast (OCC) solid silver conductor and featuring an upgraded dual shield, the Statement digital cables deliver one of the most accurate sounds. If you are looking for professional-grade performance, this series will not disappoint. 


D1SE2 AES/EBU Digital Cables (Balanced XLR) 

If you use AES/EBU connections in your balanced systems, this digital cable series is for you. It features dual-silver plated OFC conductors and XLR connectors, which makes it possible to transfer data with extremely low jitter and noise. 

USB and Ethernet Cables for High-Resolution Streaming 

Music streaming is becoming the norm, and chances are, most of your music is digital. AAC’s high-performance USB and Ethernet cables have been engineered to minimize noise and signal fluctuations. You will get a smoother and clearer sound whether you are playing from a PC, an online streaming platform, or a music server.

Tailored Terminations for Optimal Performance 

We make it easy to match your gears. AAC’s digital coaxial cables are available with RCA-to-RCA, RCA-to-BNC, and BNC-to-BNC terminations. This way, you will get:

  • Improved signal integrity with proper 75Ω impedance matching;

  • Maximized compatibility across transports, DACs, and word clocks;

  • Cleaner, more stable transmission and better sound quality. 

No need to worry about adapters and compromising sound quality. 

Choosing the Right Audiophile Digital Cable: Our Quick Guide 

The right choice of digital cables can bring out the best performance from your system. 

  • For CD Players & DVD/Blu-ray Players: A 75-ohm coaxial RCA cable (or BNC if your system has BNC jacks) is the perfect choice to connect your DAC. Check out our D-1SE2 or Statement coax cables for this setup. 

  • For High-End zdigital Players or Pro Equipment: If you want a balanced digital link that rejects noise, our 110-ohm AES/EBU cable is perfect both for high-end home setups and studio-grade systems. 

  • Computer Audio Setups: If you want to connect a computer or streamer to a DAC, our USB digital audio cable will provide a stable, low-noise connection. 

  • Network Streaming Systems: For those using a music server or streaming source like NAS or Roon Core, our audiophile Ethernet cable ensures high-speed data with low noise interference.

FAQs About Audiophile Digital Cables

Do Digital Audio Cables Affect Sound Quality? 

Yes. Although digital cables transmit binary data, factors like timing (jitter), electromagnetic interference, and impedance mismatch can affect sound quality. 

What's the Difference Between 75-ohm Coaxial and 110-ohm AES/EBU Digital Cables? 

75-ohm coaxial cables (RCA or BNC) are unbalanced and common in home audio setups. 110-ohm AES/EBU cables (XLR) are balanced. They offer better noise rejection, which makes them ideal for professional or high-end systems.

What Connectors Should I Choose for Coaxial Digital Cables: RCA or BNC?

Choose BNC if your setup supports it, as it offers true 75-ohm impedance and better signal integrity. RCA can also be a good option if you're using high-quality connectors like ETI Link or WBT.

Can I Use Any Ethernet Cable for Streaming High-Resolution Audio?

Technically yes, but the difference in quality will be noticeable. Audiophile-grade Ethernet cables are designed to reduce electrical noise and ensure cleaner data transmission. If you have a sensitive high-end streaming setups, opt for a high-performance Ethernet digital cable.  

Are Your Digital Cables Cryogenically Treated?

Yes. Our Statement series digital cables undergo cryogenic treatment. This allows us to improve conductor performance and reduce internal stress so you can enjoy a cleaner, more detailed sound. 

What cable gives the best sound quality?

High-quality audiophile digital cables using OCC or silver-plated conductors with proper shielding provide the cleanest signal and most accurate sound.

What is the best digital optical audio cable?

Premium optical cables with high-quality connectors and tight shielding prevent signal loss and jitter, delivering a clearer, more dynamic digital signal.

Do digital cables sound different?

Yes. While digital signals are binary, factors like jitter, interference, and impedance can subtly affect timing, clarity, and overall sonic fidelity.

Which is better, digital coaxial or digital optical?

Digital coaxial cables (75Ω) often provide slightly lower jitter and more consistent impedance, while optical cables prevent ground loops. The best choice depends on your system and listening environment.
