Premium digital coaxial cable with CMode filter technology and Ohno copper conductors eliminates RFI effects and skin distortions for superior clarity.
I own Bliss Hifi, a high-end audio boutique and this Shunyata Alpha Digital RCA / Coax / SPDIF interconnect is being listed as a passthrough consignment sale on behalf of one of my clients. It is in very good cosmetic condition and works flawlessly.
The item comes in its original Shunyata Research box with all original paperwork and packing materials.
Check my stellar feedback and buy with confidence. This item includes free insured shipping across the CONUS. As this is a passthrough sale that I am brokering on behalf of my client, I can only accept payments via PayPal F&F, Venmo Gift, or personal check.
Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for your consideration.
More on the cable:
The Shunyata Research Alpha v2 SPDIF cable represents a significant advancement in digital coaxial transmission, introducing for the first time Shunyata’s proprietary CMode filter technology to combat RFI effects without the sonic compression associated with conventional filters. Built around transmission line theory principles rather than traditional analog cable design, it features ArNi wire constructed from the highest purity OFE C10100 or Ohno single-crystal copper formed into VTX virtual hollow tubes that force current to travel only through the conductor’s periphery, eliminating skin effects and random eddy current distortions. The conductors utilize continuous-cast Ohno copper created through heated molds that form a singular crystalline structure, eliminating the multiple crystalline boundaries found in conventional extruded copper wire. Premium fluorocarbon dielectrics, typically reserved for aerospace applications, provide exceptional electrical characteristics including extremely low dielectric absorption and superior heat resistance that dramatically improves resolution and clarity.
The Alpha v2 SPDIF employs Precision Matched Z (PMZ) construction where tolerances of conductor surface, dielectric extrusion, and silver-plated braided shield precision are maintained to minute variances through manufacturing processes run at quarter speed to reduce cable-induced signal jitter. Critical to its performance is the precisely maintained 75-ohm characteristic impedance throughout the entire signal path, including true 75-ohm RCA and BNC compression connectors that prevent signal reflections and associated phase noise. Each cable undergoes four days of continuous KPIP (Kinetic Phase Inversion Process) treatment, dramatically reducing burn-in time while delivering a relaxed, life-like presentation that significantly improves sonic performance. The CMode filter effectively reduces common-mode noise while delivering analog ease and palpable background silence that closes the gap between digital and analog systems. Handcrafted by skilled technicians in Shunyata’s Poulsbo facility with meticulous attention to detail, the Alpha v2 SPDIF represents true reference-quality digital transmission that enables high-speed digital signals to achieve their full theoretical potential.
