AudioQuest Digital Coax cables are designed to minimize distortion over an extremely wide frequency range. For many applications, the speed of digital communication is critical. The most evident aspect is the speed needed to transfer large files as quickly as possible or to have enough data for HD video. For digital Coax audio, speed is crucial because timing relationships within a digital stream are essential for reconstructing the analog waveform that brings information and music to our ears.

Timing jitter in this information within the data packet makes the sound small and flat instead of smooth and clear.
