Naim DC1

Four RCA and BNC combinations for coaxial digital connection

Naim DC1 is the coaxial S/PDIF cable in the range, offered with RCA or BNC terminations for compatible digital sources, DACs and streamers.

The single Naim DC1 is available in four 1.25 m configurations: RCA-to-RCA, BNC-to-BNC, RCA-to-BNC and BNC-to-RCA. The same cable family therefore covers products using different coaxial sockets without adding separate adaptors, while remaining dedicated to digital transmission.

Key features

• Coaxial S/PDIF digital connection
• RCA-RCA, BNC-BNC, RCA-BNC and BNC-RCA versions
• 1.25 m length for all four catalogue variants
• High-conductivity copper cable
• Double shielding along the signal path
• Compatibility determined by the digital sockets at both ends

Digital rather than analogue

DC1 is selected when the signal must remain digital between a transport, streamer or other source and a DAC or coaxial input. Hi-Line, SNAIC and analogue Interconnect families perform different jobs: even where an RCA plug is used, they are not substitutes for an S/PDIF coaxial lead.

The plugs at both components define the variant

The menu selection identifies the source connector and the receiving connector. Mixed RCA-BNC and BNC-RCA versions remove the need for a mechanical adaptor when the two products use different standards, keeping one continuous cable between digital output and input.
