Here it is folks - the one that so many of you
have asked for. Artisan Silver Cables' pure silver S/PDIF digital hook-up cable.
Unlike our analogue cables, which all use an
unshielded woven configuration, the Digital Dream has a pure silver core and
silver-plated shielding. This configuration is necessary for S/PDIF digital leads and
enables a true 75 Ohm impedance, which optimizes it for digital use.
You perhaps won't be surprised to know that we think
it blows similarly-priced digital interconnects out of the water. The full
potential of the digital source is preserved intact and passed onto the DAC with
all its life and vibrancy. The sound is utterly pure and lacking in artifacts.
It will maximise the potential of any digital source/ DAC combination.
The RCA version uses fabulous quality Cardas SLVR
connectors.
The BNC version uses superb, beautifully made,
gold-plated plugs from Supra.
Recent customer feedback:
"Alister,
after about two weeks of
evaluation I would say that your digital cables share the same qualities of
your interconnects. To be
fair my experience with digital cables is not equal to that of interconnects,
but even in my limited
experience they seem to have a huge quality/price ratio. I think you hit the
target again....
Thanks
Stefano"

September 2011: from now on, this cable uses the
wonderful "Cardas SLVR" RCA connectors, which are manufactured to a very high
standard and have all surfaces silver-plated, further improving the sound.

New service available from 18th January 2012:
Add DCT treatment to your Digital Dream Cable for £60.
Please note: adding this option increases your likely order time to 3-4 weeks &
exempts the order from the 30 day trial period.
Deep Cryogenic
Treatment (DCT) is the treatment of materials at extremely low temperatures,
around -190˚C over an accurately measured, period of
time. The process is able to change the electrical characteristics of the
conductor allowing the signal to flow more freely producing a more efficient
conductor. This involves a slow cooling of the material to the desired
temperature where it is held for a period of time (called the ‘soak’ time). The
temperature is then carefully increased back to normal. This time frame is often
called a ‘recipe’ and is a well kept secret.
We use the UK's leading provider of DCT, Frozen Solid Audio (their process is
far superior to most other so-called "DCT experts").
The subjective result is extra purity of tone, gains in transparency and
low-level information and an enhanced sense of musical flow.
