AudioQuest processes the surface so that as few irregularities and grain boundaries as possible remain. Since high-frequency signal portions travel almost exclusively along this surface, its quality directly affects the transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the 72-volt DBS do, and do I need to maintain it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt keeps the insulation permanently electrically biased, so it stores less energy and releases less of it back with a delay. You don't need to maintain anything. The battery in the housing draws practically no current and correspondingly lasts a very long time. An indicator light on the module shows the status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Diamond also available with BNC connectors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRCA connectors are standard; BNC is available from AudioQuest on request. This makes sense if your converter or transport has a BNC input, since that connector type holds the 75 ohms more cleanly. Tell us which jacks your devices have and we'll sort out the version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Diamond from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a reference cable needs a chain that can carry it, and someone who assesses that honestly.

Digital signals are high-frequency; if the 75-ohm impedance isn't consistent throughout, reflections occur on the line. That's exactly what the NF-75 is built for – the cable and T8 RCA connectors are matched to each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan't I just use a normal Cinch cable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetter not to. Analogue Cinch cables aren't designed for 75 ohms, even if the connector looks identical. It often still works fine over short distances, but on longer runs, dropouts or connection failures can occur. If you're buying a cable anyway, get the one specified for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich length should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything from 50 centimetres to 10 metres is available – take what you actually need. Unlike with analogue connections, length isn't critical on a correctly terminated 75-ohm line. Leave a bit of extra for the bend behind the rack, but don't route unnecessary metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCoaxial or Toslink – which is better?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoaxial usually transmits higher sample rates and is mechanically more robust. Toslink, however, has a genuine advantage: it galvanically isolates the devices and prevents ground loops, for example between a TV and the system. If you have hum, our H-FLEX Toslink cable is the more pragmatic solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the ViaBlue NF-75 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we first ask what you want to connect, and then tell you whether coaxial, Toslink or AES\/EBU is the right connection.
