Atlas Mavros Ultra RCA S/PDIF Ensures Precision Signal Integrity in High-End Digital Audio Systems
Atlas Mavros Ultra RCA S/PDIF is a superior 75 Ohm digital interconnect engineered to deliver uncompromising signal fidelity between high-resolution digital sources and DACs. This premium coaxial S/PDIF cable has been meticulously developed for discerning audio enthusiasts who demand flawless timing, tonal purity, and wide dynamic range in digital playback systems.
Atlas Mavros Ultra Cable Preserves Digital Audio Purity Through Precision Engineering
Atlas Mavros Ultra RCA S/PDIF is a true 75 Ohm coaxial interconnect constructed to exacting digital audio transmission standards. Designed for high-bandwidth S/PDIF data streams, the cable ensures that both bit-level integrity and temporal coherence are maintained throughout the signal path. Its specialised geometry and conductor purity directly target issues of digital jitter, timing distortion, and transient blur—flaws that become evident when connecting high-resolution sources like CD transports or network streamers to DACs.
Utilising ultra-pure OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) copper in the central conductor, the Mavros Ultra provides a highly conductive and uniform signal path. OCC copper is well recognised for its extremely low impurity content and long crystal grain structure, which reduces micro-level signal reflections and grain-boundary interference—key contributors to loss of resolution in digital audio.
This core is encased in a high-precision microporous PTFE dielectric layer. With dielectric properties approaching those of free air, microporous PTFE ensures minimal capacitive loading on the signal, allowing unimpeded high-speed transmission while reducing phase error and maintaining exact signal timing.
Cold-Welded Connectors Maintain Consistency in S/PDIF Termination
Atlas Mavros Ultra RCA S/PDIF cable features cold-welded RCA connectors, a hallmark of the brand’s engineering-led approach. These terminations ensure a gas-tight, high-integrity connection that avoids the inconsistencies and degradation often introduced by solder joints.
The cable’s termination impedance sits at a near-perfect 76.71 Ohms, exceptionally close to the theoretical 75 Ohm specification required for S/PDIF transmission. This precise impedance matching ensures minimal signal reflection, low jitter, and reduced bitstream errors—vital for decoding high-resolution PCM data streams without temporal smearing.
Capacitance is measured at just 54.50 pF per metre, ensuring the conductor exhibits minimal reactive behaviour across its length. With inductance at 0.462 µH/m and resistance as low as 0.0388 Ohms/m, the Mavros Ultra maintains signal purity and low loss over distance, making it equally suitable for both short-run and longer digital cable applications.
Double-Layer Shielding Eliminates RFI-Induced Distortion
Atlas Mavros Ultra RCA S/PDIF interconnect provides exceptional immunity against radio-frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). A dual-layer coaxial shielding system comprises an aluminium foil and tightly braided OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) shield, ensuring wideband rejection of noise that can compromise digital performance.
This shielding is critical in high-resolution audio chains, especially in modern environments where Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and switching power supplies introduce considerable high-frequency interference. The cable's shielding maintains a stable noise floor, helping to preserve the subtle microdynamics and low-level spatial detail essential for lifelike digital audio reproduction.
To further enhance mechanical damping and microphonic resistance, the shielding is surrounded by a cotton yarn layer, encased within a soft yet durable PVC outer jacket. The final result is a physically resilient and acoustically inert cable that complements both desktop and full-scale Hi-Fi installations.
Mavros Aesthetic Meets Audiophile Expectations in Premium Systems
Atlas Mavros Ultra RCA S/PDIF is presented in Atlas’ signature premium blue box packaging, underlining its position as a flagship-level digital cable. The standard finish includes a sleek black fabric outer jacket, though bespoke Luxe options are also available for system-matching aesthetics in high-end installations.
Each cable is delivered with a cleaning cloth, a pair of handling gloves, and a USB stick containing technical documentation and certification, reflecting Atlas' attention to presentation and product care. These finishing touches make the Mavros Ultra RCA not only a sonic upgrade but also a visual enhancement in premium audio setups.
This digital interconnect sits within Atlas’ high-end performance category and embodies five essential design elements: optimal conductor quality, precision geometry, high-stability dielectric, superior shielding, and performance-matched termination. Every detail—from conductor metallurgy to mechanical damping—serves the singular purpose of delivering ultra-low distortion digital transmission that reveals the full potential of reference-level DACs and transports.
Atlas S/PDIF Interconnect Excels in Audiophile Streaming and Transport Applications
Atlas Mavros Ultra RCA S/PDIF digital cable is the ideal solution for connecting high-end CD transports, media streamers, or digital music servers to standalone digital-to-analogue converters. Its electrical properties have been specifically optimised for S/PDIF signal flow, unlike many generic digital or video cables that fail to meet the true 75 Ohm requirement.
Its impact on playback is most apparent in the reduction of high-frequency glare, improved stereo imaging, and restored timing cues—especially with complex classical recordings, ambient soundscapes, or rhythmically intricate jazz. In systems where temporal coherence is as important as harmonic accuracy, this cable allows digital audio to breathe with analog-like fluidity and musicality.
Whether part of a bespoke two-channel reference system or a professional mastering chain, the Atlas Mavros Ultra RCA S/PDIF offers a technically exacting and sonically transparent conduit for digital signal transfer, ensuring that nothing is added, removed, or masked in the musical experience.
