Reviews for Chord Clearway Digital Coaxial Audio Cable

I have only given 4* because I purchased this to go with a new DAC. The system sounds really good but because both items were new I can’t identify exactly the difference due to the interconnect.

Just purchased the Chord digital coax cable for my Streamer to DAC. What a sonic upgrade (even before it has burnt in). Much better bass and soundstage. Cannot fault and happy to recommend.

A very open sounding cable with most recordings expect 5 stars in the listening ahead

Future Shop came highly recommended and I would recommend them also. Adam spent time patiently going through all my best options for a digital lead and some speaker cable for super tweeters added to my Linn system. Have recieved the order very quickly and i am delighted with the products and service I received. Definate 5☆

Over the past few years, I have been upgrading in stages my Hi-Fi system to a stage now which will happily see me into my box!
With many new remastered CD box sets is also included a bonus DVD Audio disc, which gives what's in the box in a high res format.
I had tried these in my Panasonic Blue Ray HDD/DVD machine linked up to the on board DAC input of my Marantz SA-10 Signature SACD player.

They didn't sound bad as such, but no competition with the CD version played on the Marantz. I was using a fairly cheap 7 metre Toslink Optic cable and on line research into reviews and tests showed that Coax cable is the best choice for the job. After a few hours online research into the various different makes, types, user and audio magazine expert reviews, I settled on the Chord Clearway Coax made up to a 7 metre length. Glad I did! The cable now installed has made reproduction from the DVD player to the SACD's DAC when compared to the optic fibre, like night from day! Audio reproduction is now well up to the level from CDs in the SACD player!

Earlier on today, played the DVD Audio accompanying the Eric Clapton Unplugged box set..the clarity, the sub bass..unbelievable.
Also a good test are the Blue Ray DVDs in the huge Tangerine Dream Virgin Years box set, these discs have now come alive.
This is not a cheap cable but if you have the system which deserves it, buy it.

Obvious improvement in sound straight out of the box.

I ordered this with BNC to RCA plug for (CD digital output to amp.) The new cable has noticeably improved the sound from my system The improvement is in clarity, sound stage and subtle bass tones. I am really glad I made the purchase.

What can l say excellent service and a quality cable, noticed the difference instantly, thanks.

Excellent service and a quality cable, noticed the difference instantly.

Great value and performance. Audiolab tell me to use a coax digital cable between my tuner and my CD player bot Audiolab to achieve best results, I was unsure of the results and what cable to use coaxial cables vary so much in price so this is where future shop come into play, talking to the very knowledgeable team we went for the Chord clearway cable with a 60 day money back guarantee, so with nothing to lose I ordered this cable it arrived on Saturday I have to say the result was amazing the up-scaling effect on DAB radio was excellent sound quality so close to CD performance very pleased with this excellent cable.

Out performs QED Performance Digital Coax. Upon comparison with a QED performance digital cable with this Chord Clearway that is connected between a Pioneer BDP450 and NAD C368 built-in DAC, immediate results indicated the Signal-to-Noise (SN) ratio has increased by a few dB where i've to turn down my amp volume a bit after a restart-up.

After about 6 hours of run-in time, as expected, the stereo field has become impressively wider due to higher SN ratio...instruments sounded more analogue / lifelike....timing becomes more foot tapping / rhythmic which is quite surprising coming from a Class D amp which is usually has a laid back character.

Music now flows more smoothly & dynamic which sounds very similar to my Wireworld Oasis 7 RCA audio cable which is connected to my same amp but paired with a Pioneer BDP 180.

In conclusion, Chord tuned array design do really work, especially for digital signal, which i had found out earlier when i bought a C-Stream cable.
