Chord Epic Digital Tuned ARAY RCA Coaxial Cable
A higher-grade digital coaxial cable for DACs, transports, and streamers that need timing and tone to stay intact.
When Digital Detail Still Needs Musical Shape
A good DAC or transport can reveal a lot of information, but digital playback still depends on the quality of the connection between components. If timing, impedance behaviour, or noise control are compromised, the system can sound detailed without feeling properly connected.
That matters when the rest of the system is already capable. The digital link should not make drums, bass, vocals, and space feel slightly separated from each other.
Chosen for Better Source-to-DAC Systems
We chose the Chord Epic Digital Tuned ARAY RCA because it is built for mid-range DACs, CD transports, and streamers that deserve more than a basic coaxial cable. Chord describes Epic Digital as hand built in the UK with silver-plated solid-core conductors and its unique Tuned ARAY geometry.
The Epic level is important because it brings more serious conductor and geometry choices into a digital cable that still fits many high-quality systems. It is the step we would consider when Shawline Digital has the right direction, but the digital front end can show more.
What the Specs Won't Tell You
Timing Feels More Locked Together. Tuned ARAY geometry helps preserve the structure of the digital signal so rhythm, bass, and vocal lines feel more connected.
Digital Playback Gains More Natural Colour. Silver-plated solid-core conductors help low-level information arrive with better texture and tonal shape.
Sources and DACs Communicate More Cleanly. A proper digital coaxial cable is built for the signal it carries, helping reduce the haze that can soften the handoff between components.
The Audio Two Verdict
Epic Digital Tuned ARAY is the cable we would use between a serious streamer, CD transport, or digital hub and a capable DAC. It is not about making digital sound bigger for the sake of it; it is about helping timing, tone, and space arrive with less blur.
This is a strong fit when the source and DAC are good enough that the cable between them becomes easy to hear. The goal is a digital front end that sounds more natural, more organized, and more emotionally engaging.
Tech You Can Hear
