Digital Cable Crystal Cable Monet Digit-110
Description
Digital AES/EBU cable with 110 Ohm impedance and XLR connectors
CrystalConnect Van Gogh is a digital interconnect with a characteristic impedance of 110 Ohm and balanced XLR connectors, designed for transferring a digital audio signal in the AES/EBU format. It comes into its own when connecting a transport, streamer or source to an external D/A converter, where precise impedance matching of the entire transmission path is decisive.
Maintaining the 110 Ohm value along the whole length of the line limits signal reflections at the interfaces and helps preserve the shape of the digital pulse. The result is lower timing scatter of the signal edges at the converter input, which during playback translates into a more stable rendering of the soundstage and more legible detail. At the same time, the balanced XLR connection makes use of the common-mode rejection principle, so the transfer remains resistant to ambient electromagnetic noise even over longer runs.

Crystal Cable
The Dutch company Crystal Cable has been manufacturing top-quality cables since 2004. It is led by Gabi van der Kleij-Rijnveld, and the brand was established as a sister company to the renowned manufacturer Siltech. Today, both companies share development and manufacturing facilities in the Dutch town of Elst, whilst each retains its own distinct character. Crystal Cable was founded following the development of a unique silver and gold alloy, which made it possible to create exceptionally thin, flexible and elegant cables. Their minimalist design need not be hidden behind furniture, yet they deliver sound quality that ranks amongst the very best in the world.
All Crystal Cable products are created with a single aim: to deliver a listening experience that comes as close as possible to a live concert. Silver and gold alloy conductors are complemented by multi-layer insulation and Kapton® shielding, which protect the signal from interference. The product range includes signal, speaker, power, digital, USB and network cables, as well as earthing bridges and cables for headphones and portable devices. The company also develops its own speakers with great success. All products are designed in-house and handcrafted in Elste to strict standards, which is why they connect you to music like few others can.
