Contemporary manufacturing processes and materials allow for a level of precision and performance in the TC-3618 that are unattainable in standard optical cables. The TC-3618 boasts a quality substrate, multi-fiber conductors, and low-loss flexibility. This provides faultless transmission of even the most challenging multi-channel digital sound track.
There are two major problems that can make a difference in the sound of a
digital signal: jitter and data error.
- Jitter spreads the digital data out over time, smearing or blurring of the sound. An often-overlooked cause of jitter is bandwidth limiting of the digital signal.- Data error occurs when data arriving at the D/A converter is either missing or wrong. The reconstruction of damaged data through interpolation, would result in less obvious, but still compromising effects on fidelity.Assemblies using large fibers or just a single fiber assembly suffer from greater signal attenuation and reflection than multi-fiber assemblies. This occurs from bending the TOSLINK cable in order to connect up your equipment. The TC-3618 is made from multiple fibers of a very small diameter and has a larger diameter than a standard TOSLINK. When the signal is multi-channel 24 bits audio and/or sampling rates over 96KHz, this bandwidth is critical.
