AudioQuest Digital Coax Wild
AudioQuest digital coaxial cable with solid PSS silver conductor, designed to connect a digital source to a DAC while preserving the signal's timing accuracy.
Description
The Digital Coax Wild is a digital coaxial cable from the AudioQuest range, intended to connect a digital source (CD player, transport, network player) to a converter or amplifier fitted with a coaxial input. It carries the digital audio data stream from one device to another.
Its conductor is made of 100% solid PSS silver, 21 AWG gauge, surrounded by a rigid cellular foam dielectric. The shielding combines a copper foil layer and a PSS silver spiral, a construction intended to limit electromagnetic interference that can degrade the digital signal. The jacket comes in the form of a navy blue braid.
In a digital connection, preserving the timing relationships between the data determines the quality of the analogue signal reconstruction at the converter's output. A cable built with a homogeneous conductor and careful shielding aims to limit interference that could affect this timing coherence of the stream.
This cable is intended for hi-fi setups where a digital coaxial link connects a source to a DAC or an amplifier fitted with a digital input, for users seeking a well-crafted connection for this type of link.

What to check before buying used
The PSS silver shielding spiral and the jacket braid can fray or crack with age: it is best to check for exposed wires near the connectors. The coaxial plugs must remain firmly crimped, with no play or visible oxidation, as a loose connector causes digital synchronisation errors or even signal dropout. A continuity test with the usual source and converter remains the best way to confirm the integrity of the link before purchase.
