Trust AudioQuest to help you hear the wood from the trees, with the AudioQuest Forest Digital Coaxial.

Solid 0.5% silver conductors

Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality digital coax cables.

Hard-cell foam insulation
Hard-Cell Foam insulation is used exclusively in most of AudioQuest’s video and digital audio cables. Similar to Foamed-PE, it is nitrogen injected to create air pockets. ‘Hard’ foam is used because the stiffness of the material allows the conductors in the cable to maintain the same relationship with each other along the full length of the cable, thus ensuring that the characteristic impedance of the cable is consistent.

100% shield coverage
Shielding always plays an important role in any cable design, but the shield on coax interconnect plays an especially important role because it functions not only as a shield but a return path as well. Because of this, AudioQuest pays special attention to the shield’s metal quality and the fabrication techniques as both will affect the sound and the picture.

Metal-layer noise-dissipation system
100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment’s ground reference requires AQ’s Noise-Dissipation System. Noise-Dissipation System prevents a significant amount of RFI from reaching the equipment’s ground plane.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does what it should Bought this interconnect cable a couple of weeks ago with a Musical Fidelity MX DAC, it’s sounding fantastic through my system, Cambridge CD & Cambridge amp through B & W 603 anniversary floor standing speakers, I can only guess the interconnect is playing it’s part with the DAC. Thanks for the help from Tim & Steve at Richer Sounds Exeter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A perfect match. I upgraded from a 15 year old Sony bog standard DVD player to a Sony BluRay one and did the research for the connectors. As I intended to play it through the hi-fi, the AudioQuest Forest co-axial cable was plugged into my Marantz amp, whilst the AudioQuest Pearl HDMI connector was used to link the tv to the DVD/BluRay player. (As I've had a Pearl HDMI connector from the digibox to the tv for a few years, I knew I could rely on the make.) My telly isn't top of the range - it's an LCD one, but these two were perfect: a great picture and a fab sound coming out of the QAcoustics floor standing speakers. Am impressed with the outcome!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth every penny -great improvement over Optical I used this to connect my Cambridge Audio CXC to my Cambridge Audio CXN V2 . Listening to cd's is revitalised by this combination . The CXC was previously connected to my CXA 61 via the Toslink Optical input but running it through the CXN with this cable has given Cd's a more rounded and listenable sound - less bitingly sharp in the highs . I havnt tried using it to connect the CXC directly to the amp yet - but Cambridge recommend doing it this way -so i did !Very Happy Bunny !
