More about this cable:
Representing the flagship of AudioQuest’s 48 Series and designed for the world’s best audio/video systems, the Dragon 48 HDMI cable employs AudioQuest’s highest-quality conductor metal—100% solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS)—for both its conductors and drains to minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries while maximizing linear RF noise dissipation. The greater precision and tighter manufacturing tolerances required to deliver cables that transfer up to 48Gbps bandwidth mean all of AudioQuest’s tried-and-true ingredients matter more than ever, with Dragon 48 featuring Level 7 Noise-Dissipation that combines direction-controlled conductors, high-loss graphene added to the carbon layer sandwiched between metal layers around the four FRL + eARC pairs, a global high-loss carbon layer placed around all conductors, and AudioQuest’s patented 72v Dielectric-Bias System for maximum RF-noise reduction. Traditional shielding proves insufficient against increasingly prevalent Wi-Fi, cellular, and satellite radiation, so all 19 conductors are direction-controlled to minimize RF noise by directing it away from the most vulnerable circuits. The eARC conductor pair features solid 100% Perfect-Surface Silver with Level 7 Noise-Dissipation to ensure superior audio performance, while solid conductors prevent strand-interaction—a major source of dynamic distortion in cables.
Certified Ultra High Speed by HDMI Licensing with full 48Gbps bandwidth made possible by four balanced audio/video pairs each capable of 12Gbps, Dragon 48 supports professional 10K Ultra-HD video along with resolutions and refresh rates up to 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz while remaining completely backwards compatible with existing 4K displays. The cable renders high-speed video with lifelike clarity, brilliant color, and excellent dynamic contrasts, while supporting all HDMI 2.1 features including enhanced gaming capabilities such as 4K120, VRR, ALLM, and QFT for optimal performance from PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and gaming PCs. While 8K and compelling video features dominate HDMI headlines, AudioQuest emphasizes that the 48 Series represents their best-sounding HDMI cables yet, with the precision engineering required for 48Gbps transfer ensuring that audio benefits significantly alongside video performance. The Dragon 48 delivers improved clarity and detail for home theater experiences, reduces latency for competitive gaming, and provides world-class sonic performance through its advanced eARC implementation—all backed by AudioQuest’s non-transferable original-owner limited lifetime warranty for cables purchased through authorized dealers.
