OMEGA-X DIGITAL CABLES

No series of products in Shunyata Research’s historic product catalog has evolved as rapidly or dramatically as the company’s digital cables. Shunyata Research designer Caelin Gabriel’s background working with high-speed networking devices for the military provided invaluable experience in this arena. Combining this experience with relentless testing and research has made Shunyata Research’s digital cables the most critically acclaimed, professionally adopted products of their kind.

The Omega-X digital cables are the finest performing digital cables ever produced by Shunyata Research, employing innovative, proprietary technologies that dramatically reduce common-mode noise, cable-induced jitter, and associated time smear. These advancements allow digital systems to perform at a level that rivals the world’s finest analog and master tape sources, unlocking the ultimate performance potential of digital playback.

The Omega-X cables don’t just improve digital playback, they literally redefine digital audio as a reference medium.

SCIENCE IN SERVICE OF SOUND

Omega-X digital cables incorporate multiple design refinements and technologies that are exclusive to Shunyata Research. With innovations such as redesigned CMode filters, PMZ conductors, and KPIP v2 processing, Omega-X digital cables work in unison to eliminate digital domain noise distortions, jitter, and time smear. The performance results are nothing short of revolutionary. When applied as a complete system, Omega digital cables reveal a sonic landscape indistinguishable from world-class analog systems. The removal of any characteristic digital harshness leaves behind a fully immersive musical experience, bringing favorite artists and performances to life as never before.

DIGITAL CABLE APPLICATIONS

The Omega-X digital cables use complementary technologies aimed at achieving a pure, unadulterated, noiseless performance. Whenever possible, Omega-X digital cables should be installed and judged as a system.

Omega-X Ethernet cables have been assessed as having the most dramatic and profound impact on performance of any cable in their class. This is closely followed by the Omega-X USB and Omega-X Clock cables, both of which have drawn praise and awards from digital mastering engineers and reviewers alike.

For systems that depend on the AES/EBU or S/PDIF as the main digital interface, the Omega-X digital cables have been assessed by multiple industry veterans and digital mastering experts as best-in-class. 

The Omega-X digital cables are designed to unleash the ultimate performance from your digital rig.

THE SOUND OF SILENCE

Everyone that owns and operates digital front end electronics or spends their days as a digital mastering engineer understands the limitations of the medium. Most of us will allow that digital media played through a server or rendered in the digital domain can sound electronic, edgy, noisy, forward and hard, especially with music that has powerful dynamics, scale and force. This can be especially true when comparing a digital front end– even the most expensive, to a state-of-the-art analog reel-to-reel, master deck or turntable.

The application of a loom of Omega-X digital cables evaporates these quibbles by removing obvious forms of digital format distortion. Perhaps the most noticeable effect is the absence of compression, along with an expansion of dynamic peaks and an organic silence that emerges as if from a cavernous well. The music ebbs and flows with transitional ease, punctuated by crystalline clarity and effortless micro-to-macro dynamics that may startle even the most seasoned listener.

The listener intuitively relaxes into the music, having forgotten about the reproduction chain before them.
