A few years ago, that would have ended up creating something of a non-sequitur, because no matter how true to 75 Ohms you got in the cable construction itself, RCA terminations were notoriously unable to hit any kind of consistent, plug-to-plug impedance.

This is the ne plus ultra, the flagship of Clearer Audio’s digital range of cables, and is presently only available in 75 Ohms RCA connection. Suffice it to say with that many words in the title, it damn well better be the top of the tree, and it is. Limpets and barnacles could learn a thing or two from some of the more rigid exponents of the ‘it all sounds the same’ club.Ĭlearer Audio’s nomenclature in general can be a little ‘word salad’ in approach, and the Silver-Line Optimus Reference 75 digital interconnect is no exception. Meanwhile, the ‘bits is bits’ argument is harder to overcome it should evaporate in the listening test stage when comparing the Silver-Line Optimus Reference 75 digital interconnect to other cables, but there’s nothing quite so robustly affixed as a strongly defended position in audio. In terms of ‘legacy’, while the need to hook a CD player to a DAC is beginning to become a touch out of date, the seemingly unstoppable rise (and ever increasing specifications) of the media player mean it’s not time to count coaxial out just yet. It’s all ones and noughts after all, isn’t it?Ĭlearer Audio makes a strong case for the defence in both cases. Perhaps one of the most underrated cables in audio, the good ol’ 75 Ohm coaxial digital interconnect is beset on the one hand by those who think it a ‘legacy’ connection, and on the other by those who dismiss any implication that better audio performance can be had by a product that simply passes a digital datastream.
