Starlight 8 is the only digital audio cable to offer leading-edge technology, materials and performance, in the price range of conventional coaxial digital audio cables. The patented DNA Helix design and Composilex 3 insulation provide clear improvements in musical detail and dynamic expression.

The Atlas Element asymmetrical interconnect shares many similar features to it's stable-mates in the Atlas line. It employs a braided copper and aluminium foil giving a 100% screen to provide rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI), it employs high quality Ohnous Continuous Casting Copper (OCC Copper) for it's conductors together with a low loss porous polyethylene dielectric (PEF).

Atlas only uses the purest quality copper in its products with the Equator Achromatic being no exception. Utilising Atlas’ Ohno Continuous Cast (OCC) 5N (99.999% pure – the highest purity available) copper technology, each strand is ‘pulled’ from a single copper crystal, enabling electrical signals to flow with the least deletions.
