Furutech Digiflux NCF Top-of-the-line Digital AES/EBU Cable - 1.2m

 

The Furutech Digiflux NCF AES/EBU is the balanced XLR counterpart to the Digiflux NCF coaxial cable, designed for professional and high-end domestic digital connections between sources, DACs, and digital processors. At its core is a solid 1.3mm Alpha OCC conductor, a single-crystal copper geometry that eliminates the grain boundaries present in standard copper and reduces the distortion mechanisms that accompany them. The conductor is treated through Furutech's Alpha Process of cryogenic conditioning and ring demagnetisation before leaving the factory. A double-layer shield, combining a PET and aluminium tape wrap with a braided Alpha copper outer shield, provides thorough protection against electromagnetic interference, while the outer sheath incorporates nano ceramic particles and carbon powder directly into its PVC composite, extending resonance damping to the cable body itself rather than relying solely on the connectors.

The XLR connectors fitted to each end are Furutech's own CF-601M and CF-602F NCF types, which are among the most carefully engineered balanced connectors the brand produces. Both use rhodium-plated pure copper pins in a one-piece construction, injected with NCF Liquid Crystal Polymer Resin to introduce the material's static-eliminating and piezoelectric damping properties at the point of contact. The connector bodies incorporate nylon, fibreglass, nano ceramic particles, and carbon powder set within a heat-resistant NCF resin, with multilayer silver-plated 3K carbon fibre over a nonmagnetic stainless-steel housing providing structural rigidity and further resonance control. The female connector adds NCF damping clips and a resonance-damping release button formed from stainless steel and vibration-resistant metal powder, details that reflect the same level of attention given to the cable itself. For systems where AES/EBU is the preferred digital format, the Digiflux NCF represents a genuinely thorough approach to getting the most from that connection. 

 

Here is what Furutech say about the Digiflux NCF AES/EBU

All audiophiles search for the same qualities: Verisimilitude to the original event, a sense of engagement promoting suspension of disbelief, a visceral immersion in the audio video experience.

The dilemma faced by many is that poor recording values are more apparent as audio systems gain clarity, transparency, and resolution. Recordings that are acceptable sounding on a compromised system may grate as the bass, midrange and upper frequencies open up.

The wideband, smooth, extremely low noise and utterly musical presentation achieved by Furutech’s beautifully finished Digiflux NCF (XLR) cable is down to meticulous engineering and a careful audition of various suitable materials. These results in the superb overall balance of qualities that Furutech is known for that allow you to feel, experience and communicate with music.

Furutech Digiflux NCF (XLR) digital cable features solid-core α (Alpha) OCC conductor, double-layer shielding and a high-grade polyethylene dielectric and a composite sheath incorporating resonance damping material–Nano Ceramic and Carbon powder for improved signal transmission. Also featuring CF-601M NCF(R) XLR connectors with special layered 3K silver carbon fiber and stainless housing and a Pin side body formed with Nylon, fiberglass and heat resistant NCF Liquid Crystal Polymer Resin, incorporating nano-sized crystalline piezo ceramic particles, carbon powder and Furutech special “NCF” anti-resonance damping material. The Pins are rhodium plated Pure copper injected with heat resistant NCF Liquid Crystal Polymer Resin. CF-602F NCF(R) XLR connectors have a special layered 3K silver carbon fiber on a stamped brass housing and a contact side body formed with Nylon, fiberglass and heat resistant NCF Liquid Crystal Polymer Resin, incorporating nano-sized crystalline piezo ceramic particles, carbon powder and Furutech special “NCF” anti-resonance damping material. Signal contacts are rhodium plated Pure copper pins. Also featuring NCF material damping clips and a special resonance damping composite release button – formed with stainless steel powder and vibration resistant metal powder.

The results are extremely fine resolution down and through the very low noise floor, improved sound staging and image palpability, a musical, attractive, “round” midrange, tight and controlled bass, plus power and dynamics to spare.

About Furutech

Furutech, founded in 1988, designs and manufactures an extraordinary range of A/V cables made with extremely high purity OCC single-crystal oxygen-free copper. Furutech have several complete lines of analog and digital, power and coaxial cables available in terminated and bulk quantities. Furutech make a wide range of highest quality OEM A/V connectors and other signal transfer parts including power, speaker, IEC and specialized Hyper Audio Quality outlet receptacles. All metal components are treated with Furutech’s proprietary 2-Stage Alpha Cryogenic and Ring Demagnetization Process during manufacture that ensures the lowest achievable levels of distortion and noise.

Furutech offers a full line of elegantly engineered and designed power distribution and filter components made with an attention to detail found nowhere elsewhere. Furutech knows each and every part of the chain, no matter how small, is as important as the next, so they lavish maximum attention on all aspects of AC power transfer. As with cables, the separate parts go through the complete Alpha Process, and also benefit from the effects of GC-303, an applied material that absorbs EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). Furutech's Reference Line of cables and interconnects also include this anti-EMI technology.

Furutech's multistep and highly specialized techniques result in extremely low-noise, fast and undistorted signal transfer that begins with the incoming AC mains power, an important factor overlooked by many.

At Furutech, everyone there is passionately devoted to reaching the highest watermark in reference-grade A/V cables, OEM parts and accessories for home and car audio where Furutech maintain a very strong presence. Furutech's mission is building the absolutely best products imaginable whatever the effort involved, and offering them at a price/performance ratio that deeply satisfies every purchaser. Furutech’s Pure Transmission Design Concept improves every element of signal transmission, from the AC to the speaker.

Frequently Asked Questions

For noise isolation, yes. While Ethernet transmits data efficiently, it can carry noise. Fibre breaks the electrical path, reducing interference.
Loading...
Coaxial S/PDIF uses RCA or BNC connectors with 75-ohm impedance, while AES/EBU is balanced and uses XLR connectors with 110-ohm impedance. AES/EBU typically offers better noise rejection for professional and high-end systems.
Loading...
Optical TOSLINK cables are ideal for preventing ground loops and electrical interference since they use light transmission. Coaxial cables, however, often deliver a slightly more robust and detailed sound.
Loading...
Yes, but not in the same way as analogue cables. High-quality digital cables minimise jitter and ensure stable signal transfer, preserving timing accuracy and reducing noise.
Loading...
Yes. Both coaxial and AES/EBU cables can handle 24-bit/192kHz audio, while optical cables may be limited to 24-bit/96kHz depending on the device.
Loading...
Using a true 75-ohm coaxial digital cable maintains impedance consistency and reduces signal reflections that can introduce jitter and distortion.
