    SC-4 Silver Series Speaker Cable w/ T6s Banana Plugs 3m set

    896 individual strands

    ViaBlue SC-4 Silver Series loudspeaker cables have a combination of silvered braids optimised for the high frequency range and tinned OFC copper strands to allow unhindered current to the bass range. This cable lets the natural timbre of the music stand out without restricting detail or dynamics and presents a bass that is exceptionally powerful and seems endlessly deep.

    Balanced sound

    Each of the four 4 mm² leads are made up of seven multi-stranded bundles with a total of 896 individual conductors. Two of the four leads are silver plated OFC copper and the remaining two are tin plated OFC copper. This gives the high and low frequency content of the signals optimum conditions to reach the speakers without degradation in either extremes of the frequency spectrum. The exceptional thick cross section of 2 x 8 mm² makes the cable ideally suited for longer cable runs, or where absolute control of demanding speakers is required. The SC-4 cables are braided with the ViaBlue Cobra protective sleeve.

    Hi Matt,

    For the DAC in questions and for sale in this thread: DiDiT DAC212SE

    The I2S/HDMI connection will in fact work with gear wired for the PS Audio standard. However you will need to reverse the analogue output connections since Left and Right will be swapped.

    To mitigate this and to get 100% compatibility the HDMI Pin7 and Pin9 need to be swapped.

    I can supply such an adaptor made by the manufacturer at no extra cost to you. This will take a little time to get delivered but the above L+R output switch should work fine in the interim.

     

    Mark

  4. Since there is no real I2S standard the I2S is causing many probs for all. Even when pinouts are supposed to be compatible sometimes they don’t work. So I am waiting for the manufacturers confirmation and may take a few days to make sure there is a good solution to avoid problems. The DAC212SE (in this thread) is almost pin compatible and we should be able to get full comparability with an adaptor, though work still ongoing to check what is not pin related behind the scenes.

  5. Hi Matt,

    Thanks for the compliment on the DAC at the show. It really is quite special.

    I am travelling in Vietnam and Indonesia at the moment, my apologies for slow response.

    I need to get a response from the manufacturer to be certain that I'm giving you accurate information. Thank you for your patience.

    DiDiT DAC212SE

    State of the Art Digital to Analogue Converter, Preamplifier with input select and Headphone Amplifier. Fully remote controlled.

     

    • True Differential Output-stage
    • Double CMR at each halve of the circuit
    • Differential in > Differential out
    • No inverters
    • Made in the Netherlands
    • Tonal accuracy

     

    The DAC212SE is probably the most intelligent digital pre-amp available today. Quite simply the perfect integration of audiophile technology and intelligent software.
    The unique software lets you configure the DAC212SE to suit your needs and requirements, without degrading the audiophile performance.

    Every effort has been made to keep the signal path short and a very compact circuit with only the most essential components to guarantee the best possible performance.
    The DAC212SE uses a fully balanced internal architecture, and all the benefits of a balanced design including Common Mode Rejection (CMR) are fully utilized.

     
    212se2.jpg

    Audiophile Technology

    A true differential design allows the opportunity to design the signal path as a tightly coupled pair. This implies that the two magnetic fields partly cancel each other out, which results in a lower inductance design. In turn, this contributes to lower distortion and a purer signal transmission.

     

    True Balanced Design

    There are several ways to achieve a balanced or differential output. The DAC212 incorporates a not very common true differential circuit combined with “Virtual Grounding and balanced interfacing” this results in a very clear signal, free from interferences and conveying the music in its purest way.
    This requires very advanced 4-layer PCB design.
    While only true balanced circuits are superior to single-ended designs, they are sparsely used (even in high-end audio) due to the extra amount of components.
    In our balanced design we take this even further, as the entire output section is true differential. Thereby gaining double the CMNR benefits compared to regular true differential design. The effect is unsurpassed musical performance!

     

    212se3.jpg

    HD audio compatible

    the DAC212 was designed to accept almost all high resolution standards of digital signal.
    Regular PCM up to 192kHz via the SPDIF inputs, and 384kHz and DSD512 via USB.
    It will easily connect to your Roon endpoint or any other digital source.

     

    212se1.jpg

    Audiophile Headphone output

    The DAC212SE is fitted with a very powerful output stage that drives any headphone with ease. The low impedance output stage is capable of delivering an enormous amount of power. While maintaining absolutely stable under all conditions.
    No additional headphone amplifier required!

    NF-B Subwoofer Cable RCA

    Specifically designed low frequency interconnect cable with RCA connectors

     

    • Oxygen-free copper conductors
    • 24K Gold-plated T6s Metal RCA connectors
    • Soft ultra-resistant PVC jacket
    • Ferrite Filters suppress high frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI)
    • Durable outer polymer mesh sleeve

    Optimized Subwoofer Interconnect Cable

    ViaBlue NF-B subwoofer interconnects are specially designed low frequency cables which transmit the bass signal range with complete authority. The capacitance between inner conductor and screen is maximized using a very thick inner conductor. To further increase capacitance LDPE thermoplastic is used as insulation. The result is a staggering 128 pF/m. This cable design ensures you can run long lengths without signal degradation. It is therefore no problem to place your subwoofer(s) optimally in the room where system integration and sound quality is best.

    The triple shield constructed from a double, reverse spiral wound sheath and the LDPE semi-conducting layer shields the massive inner conductor.

    Terminated with T6s RCA connectors with 24K gold plated bronze pins. High contact pressure ensures a low resistance connection for optimum sound quality. The NF-B cables are braided with the ViaBlue™ Cobra protective sleeve.

    SC-6 Air Silver Speaker Cable w/ T6s Banana Plugs

    No expense spared and unbelievable build quality.

     

    • 6 main conductors
    • Total section of 15 mm²
    • Chemically pure copper
    • Silver and tin plating
    • High quality all metal T6s banan plugs with 24K gold plated pins

    Copper, Silver and Air

    6 circularly arranged separate conductors, each isolated from one another, with a total cross-sectional area of  15 mm² transfer the entire audio range with absolute purity. Each of the six main conductors are further divided into six sub-conductors with an air tube at the centre of each sub-conductor. The six sub-conductors are paired two by two with each pair having different properties. This is to ensure optimum conditions throughout the entire audio spectrum, with the high frequency carriers being silver plated, mid frequency carriers are tin plated and pure copper is used for the bass. The sound is lifelike and natural with breathtaking spatial separation and precise placement of instruments.

    AIR

    One of the most ideal insulators we know of is air, and this is why it is so extensively used in this top of the range cable. 10 specially arranged air pipes separate each of the inner conductors, greatly reducing the capacity to only 98pF/m. This state of the art nearly loss-free transmission of audio signals results in impressive sound, even over long distances. The SC-6 AIR Silver speaker cables are manufactured with ViaBlue T6s pin (banana) plugs. A soft banding and a flexible satin mat sheath protect the entire cable system.

  11. To get the chest thump you do need a considerable amount of SPL. Something that home speakers are generally not designed for. At least not without high amounts of distortion and more importantly large compression.

    To get the crisp 'snap' of the drum kit, including the bass drum you need enormous dynamic range in the 100-500Hz region. This has little to do with the subwoofer when talking HT.

    Any reasonable recording will be good enough. You don't need a live band hooked up directly to get this chest thump and snap.

    The room comes into play. With a single subwoofer, your typical frequency response will be full of peaks an nulls making the bass sound limp and swampy. With two well-placed subwoofers, the problem will be halved. A third well-placed subwoofer can tighten up the bass tremendously to outperform a single sub by a large margin.

    large and lightweight cone. This is completely contrary to most home speakers, that achieve reasonably deep bass from very small enclosures. It's a tradeoff. The laws of physics are quite clear on this. Add mass to get bass extension, power handling and compression will suffer. Sure, we can design extreme excursion drivers and huge amps to somewhat compensate, but compression and impulse response is no match to an efficient design that all things equal, will be physically huge in comparison.

    @Marc describes his experience with a large efficient speaker very well earlier in this thread. Practicality and personal preference are of course large factors in all of this.
