$399.00

The AudioQuest Vodka Optical cable is designed to elevate the performance of high-fidelity systems, particularly when used as an interconnect between a CD transport or network streamer and a DAC. Featuring 217 narrow-aperture, high-purity synthetic fibers, this cable minimizes timing errors and signal dispersion, which helps maintain a more precise and accurate digital signal. The result is cleaner, more detailed sound with improved clarity, allowing every subtle nuance of the music to be heard with greater definition. By reducing distortion and enhancing the bandwidth, the Vodka Optical cable contributes to a more immersive and dynamic listening experience, bringing out the full potential of your Hi-Fi components.

217 Narrow-Aperture Synthetic Fiber Conductors

Optical fiber transmission faces a challenge where dispersed light travels a longer path, similar to a pool ball bouncing off the side rails. This delay causes portions of the signal to arrive later, resulting in decoding errors and reduced bandwidth. As a result, the audio signal becomes distorted or incomplete. The Vodka Optical cable combats this issue by utilizing 217 narrow-aperture, high-purity synthetic fiber conductors, which significantly reduce dispersion. This ensures the signal travels more efficiently, preserving the integrity of the original digital signal and minimizing distortion in the final analog output.

Precision Polished Fiber Ends

The precision-polished fiber ends of the AudioQuest Vodka Optical cable play a crucial role in ensuring the highest quality signal transfer. By carefully refining the ends of each fiber, the cable minimizes light reflection and scattering, which can distort the signal as it travels through the optical fiber. This polishing process enhances the cable’s ability to transmit a pure, undistorted signal, ensuring that the audio remains clear and accurate. With reduced signal loss and a more stable transmission path, the Vodka Optical cable delivers better overall performance, providing a cleaner and more detailed audio output from your digital sources.

Low-Jitter

The AudioQuest Vodka Optical cable is engineered to minimize jitter, ensuring that the digital signal maintains perfect timing as it travels from source to destination. Jitter, which refers to timing inconsistencies in the signal, can lead to distortion and a loss of detail in the audio. By reducing these timing errors, the Vodka Optical cable ensures a smoother, more precise signal, allowing the audio to be reproduced with greater accuracy and clarity. This results in a more dynamic and faithful reproduction of the original sound, free from the artifacts caused by jitter.
