Atlas Hyper dd S/PDIF, BNC-BNC

The Hyper dd S/PDIF Connectors are available in multiple formats, please check if you need RCA or BNC style connectors before ordering, then browse the available products listed in our Optical Cables Section.

DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES:  

A 75 Ohm digital cable designed to perfectly complement our acclaimed Hyper Integra and Hyper dd Ultra RCA interconnects.

A high-performance cable engineered to be a superior option for use between hi-res streamer or CD transport and DAC.

Available configured RCA–BNC/BNC–RCA (avoiding adapters) as well as BNC–BNC.

The Hyper Integra BNC is designed to match the consumer digital audio specification by maintaining a true 75 Ohm impedance, ensure error-free transmission of digital data signals. Many cables fail to meet the 75 Ohm standard due to flaws in the way the cable itself is manufactured and assembled. Our cold-weld solder-free connectors avoid continuity breaks and compression of the cable’s shielding screen which cause impedance problems and lead to compromised jitter performance.

The Hyper dd benefits from a simplified version of the dual-drain system originally developed for our top-of-the-range Mavros and Asimi interconnects. Twin symmetrical drain wires connect the screen to the cable return/plug interface, meaning the cable can be terminated without distorting, twisting, or mechanically stressing the precision-laid screen. The benefits are in maintaining a consistent low impedance load to the plug, and a total 360° screening against noise and signal loss caused by RFI (Radio Frequency Interference).

The Hyper dd Integra BNC-BNC configuration is an ideal digital cable between CD transport or streamer and DAC — if your equipment has BNC socketry, this will normally offer superior performance to RCA connectors.

THE ATLAS DIFFERENCE:  

1. Conductor Purity   

Atlas uses the highest-quality conductive materials to minimize the impurities that impede the signal’s path. Their top-of-the-range products use incredibly pure OCC copper and solid OCC silver conductors.   

2. Manufacturing Consistency   

Atlas avoids soldering and the variability it introduces. All Atlas products are manufactured using a proprietary cold-welding process to fuse the connector to the cable, creating an airtight metal-on-metal contact that is identical every time.

3. Signal Screening   

Atlas takes great pains to screen our cables from the effects of the noisy environs in which modern systems are embedded. They also offer unique solutions for draining interference and noise, both within and outside of the cable.  

4. Harmony of Materials   

Atlas focuses on establishing conductive constancy or equilibration between the main conductor, the plug, and the insulating material. Audio signals are delicate — so wherever possible, they avoid combining disparate materials of differing resistances, and choose materials that will have the least possible effect on the audio signal.   

5. Acclaimed in 30+ Countries   

The Atlas “state of the art” products, such as the award-winning Mavros and Asimi ranges, are regarded as being among the finest available anywhere at any price, receiving accolades in Europe, the US, Canada, Japan, and the Far East.   

Atlas products are researched, designed, and produced in Kilmarnock, in the west of Scotland. Everyone on the Atlas team has spent their lives in the hi-fi and audio-visual industry.
