Othello Digital reference SPDIF Co-Axial Digital Cable (1.0m)
One of the best digital cables we have heard yet. The Othello is stunningly well built and provides the most transparent and truthful signature which is not only detailed but also tonally accurate.
A DAC is an important part of your Stereo chain. However, the cable that carries the digital signal is equally important. It is something that can most definitely make or break or the performance of your DAC
Main Features:
- True 75/110 ohm architecture
- Gold plated Eutectic Brass Lock-on RCA plugs
- Double braid for Best RF EMI rejection
- Terminated by the factory in an oxygen controlled environment using non-leaded solder
The cable is trusted and used by only the best-recording studios across the world as their REFERENCE for all their digital connections including DAC,’s aes ebu , world clock .
When it comes to digital trust only Pro Audio.
The cable is used in mastering and recording studios including Abbey Road, Capitol Studio, Platinum Studio, La Chapelle Studios (Belgium) and HANSA ( Germany ) . Clients include studios used by Mary Black, Robbie Williams, The late Michael Jackson, Dianna Krall and many more.

This is a stunning cable. I found an improvement in all aspects of performance. It seemed to add a couple of octaves of bass, a huge improvement in dynamics. The midrange was fuller and with more body. The improvement was on the scale normally expected of a component upgrade rather than a cable upgrade. For the price it is spectacular.

Very good quality.
For high end equipment the quality of signal is critical and this does the job really well.
Prompt delivery and service.

I bought this to connect my Cambridge CXC CD transport with the Cambridge CXN streamer’s DAC. I used to previously connect them with the Lifatec Silflex optical which I had to move over to connect my AirPort Express because it has only optical out. to the DAC. So I had to look for a Coaxial digital cable for my CXC now. I decided to go with Othello based on the write up and previous good experience with the manufacturer’s interconnects.
And for sure, it turned out to be a very capable cable. The sound is full and rhythmic… it is also almost as clear as the Lifatec optical which is significantly costlier (and another the best optical cables around). I can’t stay with these coaxial as they serve well in my system. The connectors have a berry tight fit, which is good of the connection, but not comfortable if you constantly move around the cables (I don’t).
